Spotlight on Endangered Species: Year 7 and 8 Explore Endangered Species

This week, our Science team has been working closely with Year 7 and Year 8 students to shine a light on the critical issue of endangered species. Students researched an animal of their choice, investigating the causes of their endangerment and exploring actions we can take to protect them before it's too late.

One standout project came from Jasmine, who delved into the world of pangolins, fascinating, scale-covered mammals native to Africa and Asia. Classified as Critically Endangered since 2014, pangolins face serious threats due to illegal trafficking and habitat loss. Jasmine created an eye-catching and informative poster highlighting these issues and offering practical ways we can all contribute to their survival. Be sure to check it out below!

Another creative highlight was Henry’s original rap performance dedicated to saving the pangolin. 

It's been an inspiring week of creativity, compassion, and science and our students have shown just how passionate and inventive they can be when it comes to protecting the natural world.
