Hands-on reptile experience
More than 200 local high school students attended a reptile display and presentation as part of Science Week at Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus last month.
The Australian Reptile Park visit allowed students to benefit from hands-on experience, according to relieving principal Mr Nick Dent.
Mr Dent said Japanese students visiting the school were also in attendance.
"Facts about the variety of reptiles, the dangers and the importance of these animals replaced the misconceptions and misinformation.
"The students were very inquisitive and learnt a great deal from the experience."
