SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT AT KANGAROO GROUND
Our school provides authentic learning centred on a range of relevant and topical science and environmental issues.

Students and teachers are working towards creating a ‘Sustainable School’, with a focus on recycling, water and energy conservation, and indigenous fauna and flora conservation and preservation.
Surveying our frog habitat
Students in our upper school are currently involved in the Diamond Valley Cluster Environmental Leadership Experience; working with the Melbourne Wildlife Sanctuary to rehabilitate a wetlands area and frog habitat on the school grounds. This project involves students across the whole school as well as parents and teachers and will ultimately create a living classroom for the school and local community.
Learning to use the digital microscope
The school is involved in the annual ‘Rubbish Free Lunch Day’ and students, parents and teachers are very proactive in keeping our school as rubbish free as possible.
Making a battery using lemons and metal strips
We have a number of teachers with a strong science background who bring their love of science to the class room and provide stimulating, engaging and enriching science sessions at all level grade levels. Topics covered include insect life cycles and freshwater ecology, geology and space science, forces and electricity, substances and chemical changes.
