Zombie Fish – Primary School Education Day

Have you heard of the Zombie Fish? Thought to be extinct the small but mighty Southern Purple-spotted Gudgeon was rediscovered in 2019! To ensure the longevity of this critically endangered species VFA are translocating the zombie fish into several local waterbodies including the Victoria Park Lake wetland. 

Join VFA, GBCMA, RiverConnect and Goulburn Murray Landcare Network for a unique Outdoor Classroom Multi-Activity Education Day! Students will see the fish up close, be a part of their release into the lake and engage in a range of interactive games to learn about how the species is important in our local ecosystem, along with the remaining Magnificent Six small bodied native fish species.

When: 9.30am – 12.30pm 

Thursday 1st May

Where: Victoria Park Lake

What: Students will rotate through four environmental education sessions, each running for 30 minutes.

Parents/Guardians will need to approve bus travel for this event and there is a small charge of $5 per student to cover the bus.

PAYMENT: If you elected to use SSB for incursions as they incur, your balance will show $0 and the $5 per student cost has been offset. If your child has an amount to pay of $5 each, this is because you have elected to PAYG and for the SSB to offset camps only. Thank you.
