I would like to inform you of our successful program – “Down at Your Local Creek” – for upper primary students in schools in the catchment of Kedron Brook.
The Kedron Brook Catchment Branch of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland has prepared an educational program on catchments and ecological monitoring. The program is tailored to schools within the water catchment of Kedron Brook and will continue to be available to schools in 2008. An experienced former teacher and a biologist facilitate the two hour hands-on environmental science program.
A special flyer (237 KB pdf file) describes the program. This information has been sent to the Principals of primary schools within our catchment that may be interested in the program during 2008.
By way of background, our organisation has been working in the Kedron Brook catchment since 2001 and is affiliated with the Brisbane Catchments Program and bush care initiative of the Brisbane City Council. Various past and present members of our organisation have worked on an ‘ad hoc’ basis with a number of schools in the catchment. Through this proven program, we are aiming to provide a quality learning experience that is locally relevant and interesting to students in a structured and consistent way.
If you have any queries regarding the program please contact our Catchment Cordinator Lesley Collins on 3407-0836.
We look forward to working with you in 2008
Regards
Robert Standish-White
President
Kedron Brook Catchment Branch
