Learning centre
In August 2005, the Learning Centre at the La Trobe Wildlife Sanctuary was officially opened.
A group of middle years students from the Gresswell Cluster organised the event as part of the Sustainability Leaders experience offered through the Sanctuary's Education Service.
The event was a great success with Cheryl Garbutt, the Minister for Children, Nancy Mills, La Trobe University's Chancellor and number of other dignitaries all commenting on the importance and benefits that such a centre will bring to schools in the region.
Wetlands boardwalk
The Centre boasts two classrooms where students can get 'up close' to Australian wetland and woodland flora and fauna. A short walk from the classrooms is the Rod Foster Memorial Wetland with a boardwalk that allows students to investigate a fantastic wetland ecosystem. For schools involved in water quality, habitat and ecology experiences, this addition to the Learning Centre provides a perfect setting to reinforce (or introduce) the classroom learning experience.
