Year 12 students visit geological sites

Year 12 students from Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy campus visited key geological sites in western NSW throughout the first week of July.

The excursions were organised as part of the Earth and Environmental Science course.

"Students visited a resource recovery centre in Lucas Heights, the unique geological formations of Jenolan Caves, the Bathurst Fossil and Mineral Museum, the Orange waste water treatment facility and the Canowindra Ages of Fishes Museum," said college principal Mr Paul Gilmore.

"Students also had the opportunity to visit a range of sites and properties around Canowindra to examine how soil erosion and salinity is managed; as well as taking part in a fossil dig where we uncovered many specimens of trilobites and graptolites from the Silurian period that have not seen the light of day for more than 440 million years," he said.
