The Sunshine Coast Council have organised two fun, parent-supervised TurtleCare Hatchling Clubs these April school holidays- one: for ages five to nine and the second: for ages ten to twelve. Children in these two age groups, who love the idea of being real-life marine biologists and learning more about turtles, are invited to come along to these extra special workshops, run by the TurtleCare Sunshine Coast volunteer team.

What’s happening, what will children learn and other important turtle-y ‘stuff’ -

Learn all about the turtles who nest here on the coast - lifecycle, biology and fun facts!

STEM activity. Bring your curiosity and creativity.

These events will include both indoor and on-beach activities with some teamwork required.
