As one component of a school-wide series of workshops and weeklong event held in National Science Week, students will learn about the biodiversity of the Ecological Vegetation Class (EVC) that is present on our school grounds. To replenish the biodiversity of the grasslands, students will be involved in various activities such as, building bat boxes, planting yam daisies which are an important cultural food source for our local indigenous people, building an exclusion fence for rabbits, improving the dense vegetation to hinder pesky noisy minor
population growth, which will encourage blue wren and other native birds to return to the area. With the support of our maintenance and horticultural team to install the boxes, we aim to attract microbats back to this grassland assisting with biodiversity renewal.

Students will have the opportunity to showcase their research to the school community along with the other workshop presentations.
