Year 9 Advance Dives into Marine Exploration at SEA LIFE Melbourne
Recently, the Year 9 Advance class embarked on an exciting educational excursion to SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium. The day was packed with marine discoveries, hands-on learning, and a dash of friendly competition.
A Guided Underwater Journey
Our students participated in a comprehensive two-hour guided session led by passionate aquarium educators. The program gave students a chance to deepen their understanding of marine biology, focusing on how various species adapt to their environments and the critical importance of conservation.
The educators encouraged students to think critically about human impacts on marine ecosystems and explore everyday actions we can take to help conserve these precious habitats.
The Goosechase Scavenger Hunt
To add an interactive challenge to the day, students participated in a scavenger hunt using the Goosechase app. Teams raced through the aquarium’s immersive zones, competing to see who could be the first to spot all the listed animals. The energy was high as students worked together, scanning the tanks to check off their lists.
As seen in the final results, the competition was fierce, but a few teams truly stood out with their observational skills:
| Rank | Team Name | Score |
| 1st | Dimsun | 8,800 |
| 2nd | Lolunicornpoop | 5,000 |
| 3rd | The Larpers | 4,600 |
| 4th | Quang Viet Anh XOXO | 4,400 |
A massive congratulations to team Dimsum for taking out the top spot with a commanding lead!
