Tasmanians Who Survive and Thrive
Year 1
Program Overview
Year 1 students explore how living things meet their basic needs within different habitats, with a focus on Tasmanian native animals and aquatic species.
During a guided Conservation Workshop, students compare what animals need to survive, including food, water, shelter and space, across contrasting environments such as Tasmanian bushland and aquatic habitats. Animals studied include Tasmanian devils, spotted-tailed quolls, eastern quolls, and aquarium species such as clown fish and silver dollar fish.
The program also includes a hands-on Tasmanian animal encounter, where students can feed and gently interact with kangaroos and Bennett’s wallabies, helping them understand how humans can support and care for native wildlife.
