On the first Australian school team, Geelong Grammar School gave more than just hard work and enthusiasm during their time on their chosen expedition, Mammal Conservation in South Africa. The team of 15 students and 2 teachers managed to pack an astonishing 80kg of much needed school supplies in their luggage to give to a local school in Polokwane. During their day at the school they also engaged with the local children while teaching them about the environment. Do you want to be involved in an Earthwatch school team? Find out how here.
