Mackay Students Gather Wildlife Data On Trip To Konomie Island

Mackay State High School sent a team of Year 12 students to camp on Konomie Island recently to collect data for their Biology assessment.

Students got to explore a number of different sites across the island, even donning snorkels to learn about the sea.

The trip was a chance to gather data about the natural environment, whilst gaining many valuable lifelong skills in the process.

The trip was a demonstration of how the rich landscape of the Mackay region can offer our young ones unique chances to interact with nature and engage with the natural world.
