On Monday 5th August we were invited to attend the Conservation Careers Expo at Auckland Zoo, sponsored by Mazda.  Mr Jack & Ms Nisha took 30 scientifically minded students to the event to learn about science based career pathways.  Following an intriguing keynote speech by Dr Riley Elliot, a Hamilton based Shark expert, students engaged in workshops of their choice presented by Auckland University, NZ Biosecurity, Veterinary specialists, marine biologists and others. Interactive displays were offered by the Coast Guard, NIWA (National Institute for Water & Atmospheric Research), Auckland Zoo, Department of Conservation and many other environmental groups and organisations. The day was rounded off with a visit to see the exhibits in the zoo and free ice creams.  Students represented Wesley College in the most perfect manner and we have been invited back for future events.
