Ducks adopted by school

 

Ettalong Public School has adopted a family of ducks.

School P&C publicity officer Ms Michelle Pathirana said that four families of ducks were currently living in the school, with about 30 ducklings between them.

"Ettalong has a strong environmental education program, with a recycling program, a bush tucker garden and a frog pond," Ms Pathirana said.

"The frog pond has now become home to the ducks and students are helping to care for them.

"Students have had first hand experience of the ducks' life cycle as they have monitored them since the clutches of eggs were discovered."
