The Education Activity Kit for schools focussed on Grovetown Lagoon is complete and able to be used by any school in the area. The Department of Conservation has made a wonderful job of this very practical and easy to use kit for teachers.

The Grovetown Lagoon Education Kit is designed to be used by primary and high school teachers and students, either with or without a representative from the Department of Conservation. Lots of background information is provided, and activities based on the themes for this kit are explained. Some activities are appropriate for all ages, others are more appropriate for a particular age group. Included in the kit is all the equipment needed to carry out all the activities. The Grovetown Lagoon Education Kit is available from the Department of Conservation, South Marlborough Office. Phone Shelly Sidley on 572-9100.
