Education
"Conservation through exciting education" is a phrase often heard in our Education department and what better way to inspire your students to BE that change than by getting them involved in the Steve Irwin Day 2011 Khaki It Schools Challenge!
Check out how the winning school from 2010 Strathpine State School won - Strathpine State School Teacher, Helen Hamill, heard about the challenge through an education workshop at Australia Zoo, was instrumental in demonstrating the school's achievements. This breadth of activity was in keeping with the school's mission: "To adopt a holistic approach in order to embed environmental and conservation awareness and action into the everyday culture of the school and its wider community". It was this everyday culture approach that impressed the judges of The Khaki It! School Challenge. Congratulations to Helen and all the students at Strathpine State School. You're all Wildlife Warriors!
