Into the mangrove

11 Nov 2020

During Science lessons in Term 4, students have become citizen scientists exploring the mangroves on the banks of the Parramatta River.

Students are observing and collecting data of different abiotic and biotic features of the mangroves, for example tides, carbon storage as well as living species such as mud crabs, snails, fish and various vegetation. 

We are lucky to have mangroves right on our doorstep here at Rivendell, so our students have been able to investigate and explore the habitat of this fascinating ecosystem during their Science classes.

I would like to respectfully acknowledge the Wangal people who were one of the first Aboriginal people to encounter British settlers. The Wangal Clan lived in this place we now call Concord, and where Hen and Chicken Bay was an important Wangal Clan meeting place. The Wangal Clan is one of 29 clans of the Eora Nation. I would like to pay my respects to the Elders, both past, such as Bennelong, and present Elders and Aboriginal people of this land where we meet today.
