Last Wednesday, Year 11 and 12 Geography and Year 12 Biology students embarked on a field study camp to Stradbroke Island lead by the team at Second Nature.

The students camped at a spectacular location on Point Lookout at the Surf Lifesaving Club which overlooks the ocean and the magnificent rocky point on the eastern side of the Island. Thursday saw all students hard at work collecting field data from a coastal heath land at Cylinder Beach, the rocky shores of Deadman's Beach and the undisturbed beach dunes on Main Beach. The students were rewarded for their hard work with a twilight swim at Cylinder Beach.

On Friday, the students had an opportunity to learn snorkelling at Amity Point inside the safety of the shark nets. We then swam again at Brown Lake which is classed as a perched lake and with so much recent rain it was full to the brim. The group then returned to Amity Point to visit the Museum where they were addressed by Melodie who gave an insightful presentation on the history of the Island.

Students are now hard at work collating their data and working towards their Term 2 assessments.
