The Year 3 – 6 students from the Blenheim and Nelson campuses had a great time at Lochmara recently, as part of their wildlife excursion.

They were able to experience a wide variety of wildlife including kunekune pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, bees, eels, as well as being up to get up close with New Zealand’s endangered kakariki.

They were also able to observe and interact with some sea creatures, both in the underwater observatory and in the touch tank. This included paua, kina, sea stars, sea cucumbers, fish, crayfish, and some lucky students were even able to hand feed some stingrays!

A huge thank you to all the parents, grandparents and other family members who supported us with transport and supervision on this trip.
