Konomie Island Environmental Education Centre and Toohey Forest
Field Studies are an integral part of any course in Biology, but at Craigslea SHS these are also exciting adventures which have proven to be life-changing experiences for many students. During the two-year course, students have opportunities to study ecosystems such as:
- Sand dunes
- Rainforests
- Eucalypt forests
- Rocky shores
- Coral reefs
Year 11 students may attend the Coral Reef Field Trip at Konomie Island Environmental Education Centre, and in Year 12, all students attend a day field trip to Toohey Forest.
At Konomie Island Environmental Education Centre, situated off Yeppoon and surrounded by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, students conduct transect studies on a variety of reefs around North and Great Keppel Islands. They collect data to analyse species diversity and in doing so contribute to further learning in preparation for their internal assessment tasks.
