As part of their Science unit on classification, our Year 7 students once again enjoyed an exciting and educational incursion with Wild Action Productions. This hands-on session allowed students to get up close with a range of remarkable Australian animals, deepening their understanding of classification, adaptations, and biodiversity.

Across the three days, students met an impressive lineup of native wildlife, including a baby joey, a baby wombat, a black-headed python, and even a freshwater crocodile. Each animal was carefully introduced by Wild Action’s expert presenters, who shared engaging facts about their features, habitats, and behaviours. Students explored how scientists classify animals based on shared characteristics, seeing these concepts come to life right in front of them.

This incursion perfectly supported the Year 7 Science curriculum by connecting classroom learning to real-world examples. It also fostered a deeper appreciation of Australia’s extraordinary wildlife and the importance of protecting our native species.

A warm thank you to all staff and students involved in making this incursion such a success. It was a memorable and enriching experience, and we look forward to seeing how it inspires our students’ ongoing exploration of the natural world.
