CLASS TIME

To work with the animals and enjoy all the fun stuff, the students need to have class as well. The first years have 5 unit standards to cover. They consist of Animal care,Feeding, Cleaning and Maintain, Ecology and Pant care. In the 4and a half weeks that they spend at the Wild life Center we have to cover all this work and do field assessments with them.

First years busy with class

Field assessments is where they are being assessed while doing the work. They get marked on things like the way they prepare the food for all the animals, that they prepare the food in the right way and cut the food in the right sizes to suit the animals, they also have to be able to explain why they do it a certain way etc.

It sound easier than it is to cover the work because it has to be done between the physical work that we're doing here at the Wild life Center.
This physical work consists out of feeding, cleaning and maintaining the cages etc. around the WLC.
