Outdoor Education

Unit 4 Outdoor and Environmental Studies students conducted water and soil testing using samples from Westlakes as part of their studies on Healthy Outdoor Environments last month.

Students investigated different components of the water and soil to assess how healthy Westlakes is as an environment.

They tested the pH, temperature, turbidity and conductivity of the water, and the texture, moisture and colour of the soil.

Based on their findings, the students concluded that Westlakes is a healthy environment that can support a range of wildlife and flora.

We are lucky to have such a thriving natural environment so close by.
