Visits from school groups
In the past month or so, two school groups had visited the Mini Turtle Museum in Kg. Mangkok.
On 28th May, some 38 students of the South Australian Matriculation program and 2 accompanying teachers from Taylor’s College organized a trip to Setiu, and included in their itinerary was a visit to the Mini Turtle Museum. The main objective of the visit from Taylor’s College was to foster a greater urban-rural youth interaction as well as to expose the students to in-situ conservation efforts carried out on the grassroots level.
On 9th June, we had the pleasure of entertaining a group of 84 Form 6 students (also members of the Pre-U Club) and 5 accompanying teachers from S.K. Tengku Bariah, Kuala Terengganu. These pre-u students wanted to perform a social service and they decided to do a beach clean up. Hence the group traveled in 2 buses to Kg. Mangkok to carry out a beach clean up activity as well as to learn more about sea turtles and terrapins of Malaysia, and the threats that they face. The pictures below show how much the students enjoyed the trip :D
