Term 2 Focus: science and the living world
Under the heading 'The Living World', students will build their knowledge and understanding of invertebrates. Invertebrates play an important role in the health of our delicate ecosystem. Often hidden due to their size, or feared due to their creepy-crawly nature, the benefits of invertebrates are often overlooked. The benefits include helping to control invasive weeds, pollination to help plant communities reproduce, improving soil, and playing an essential part of the food chain.
More than 90 percent of all living animal species are invertebrates. It's time we take notice and respect these little (and some slightly bigger than little) creatures.

Everything is connected – from the deepest ocean to outer space – and what we do, does make a difference.
