Animal Health Education Sessions
2 December 2024
Our Animal Management Program Team visited Schools in Yirrkala, Galiwin'ku, Ramingining and Gunyangara to run animal education sessions.
Our school-based animal education sessions are a crucial foundation of our Animal Management Program. Our team conducts these sessions to cover topics such as animal empathy and animal health. At our most recent sessions delivered at schools in Yirrkala, Galiwin'ku, Ramingining and Gunyangara the kids learned about cat and dog health needs. Shepherdson College in Galiwin'ku ran a 'Dog Week Art Competition' in conjunction with our visit, displaying some incredible artworks!
A big thanks to Jessica Allardyce (Animal Management / Veterinarian Nurse) for delivering these education sessions.
