At Holy Family we are conscious of the Outer world of the Universe and Inner worlds of the biosphere. We are undertaking very important work in ecology by our work in farming some endangered species of native fish. These include the Southern Purple Spotted Gudgeon.
We are breeding this species for the purpose of releasing them into the wild. The next release is on the 28th March near Murray Bridge. You may see a program about us on ABC Landline!
During the holidays, we started constructing a series of four Billabongs in which we shall store and develop populations of these species.
We need to look to the inner worlds of the biospheres to help us to understand the ‘big picture’ which we need to guide our learning.
What do you think?
Dear Mr White,
I love how us; the younger generation is able to create a better and sustainable future for us.
I enjoy the idea of knowing that we are helping species of the world. How we are not just helping our school but the whole of South Australia and beyond.
I’m so grateful that we have the abilities of having a MUDLA and fish farm in our school, I feel I’m learning and knowing more information about the sea creatures.
I feel proud that I’m learning and it being beneficial for others to enjoy the world that God desires.
I am so glad that there is a possibility of our school being on ABC landline, it makes me realise the wonderful accomplishments our school has done together.
I’d also love to know more about the ABC landline and what you will talk about when they visit!
Thank you,
Tcross
What I like about the fish farm Is that there’s always lots of different fish to write about and because you would get to feed them. Second reason why I like to go to the fish farm is because you would be able to learn so much information about all the types of fish and because there wouldn’t be a reason to search about the types of fish although you would sometimes have too.

Fish Farm
Hi Mr White, I enjoy being at the fish farm because I learn about different animals and their different habitats. I really like how there are different animals like sea animals and land animals, I think it’s a great way to teach students about the different animals around us.
