2024 Year 11 Earth and Environmental Science Excursion

21 Jun 2024

2024 Year 11 Earth and Environmental Science Excursion

The Year 11 Earth and Environmental Science class conducted a field study to assess the devastating impacts of invasive plant species, including bitou bush and asparagus fern, found on the Minnamurra Spit. The students enjoyed their journey across the estuary (some far more than others!) and got their hands dirty conducting their investigation on the beach and in the rare littoral rainforest. A big thank you to Steve and Andrew from the Illawarra Environmental Educational Centre for being our excellent guides, and to Mr. Pennisi for tagging along and making our experience enjoyable.

Wollongong High School of the Performing Arts acknowledge the Wadi Wadi people of the Dharawal Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet. We acknowledge the Elders, past, present and future, of this land as well as Elders of the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These Elders hold the traditions, the dreams, the hopes and the culture that has been kept alive for thousands of years. Our school lies between the sacred site of Mt Geera and the five islands which are significant figures in Dharawal dreaming stories. These stories pass on the traditions, practices and customs that have sustained the oldest living culture in the world to this day. In between the mountains and the sea we meet together in harmony and stand firm in the reminder that this land is, was, and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
