Five students from Alice Springs have swapped their classroom for the jungles of Sri Lanka, helping to keep elephants from crops and building a school for primary students.
St Philips College is one of 18 schools across Australia to get involved with Round Square — a global charity providing experiential learning and character education for students. Since getting involved with the organisation in 1996, the college has taken more than 50 students to at least 10 countries.
Vocational education and training coordinator Kate Anderson took the students to Wasgamuwa National Park for three weeks to take part in the charity's Big Build project."The booming population has meant that cities are bigger and parklands are smaller. "The elephants need specific migratory patterns. If there is a house in the way or a paddock in the way they'll still use that specific pathway."
this where i grew up, so i know how rewarding the swap going to be for sure..all the very best..enjoy the peaceful (may be challenging) lifestyle 🙏
Wow, all that carbon into the atmosphere & i bet they all took their mobile phones.
