The Prep teachers could not be more proud of our wonderful students. Throughout our study of orangutans – driven by them – we have learnt that we really can make a difference in the world, even at 5 or 6 years old. Our visit to the Melbourne Zoo was just the beginning. Students then researched facts about orangutans and their habitats. They started to think about how they could actually help them with their problem. On Friday 11th November, we raised awareness of orangutan habitat destruction and encouraged the school community to sign the petition to vote for ministers to make clear labelling of palm oil compulsory on food products. This way, we will be able to make an educated decision about whether or not we would like to buy products containing unsustainable palm oil. Thank you for supporting us.
