Our Grade 7 explorers embarked on an exciting 
Project-Based Learning (PBL) journey into the world of ecology with a memorable trip to Safari Park. The experience provided students with a unique opportunity to connect classroom concepts with real-world environments, as they observed diverse habitats, studied animal behavior, and developed a deeper understanding of interdependence within ecosystems.
During the trip, students actively engaged in hands-on fieldwork 
techniques such as 
using quadrats, pitfall traps, and other sampling methods to study animal populations. These scientific practices sharpened their inquiry skills, enhanced their powers of observation, and allowed them to collect meaningful data just like professional ecologists. Beyond technical learning, students reflected on the delicate balance of nature, the need for conservation efforts, and the importance of protecting biodiversity for future generations.
The adventure, however, was not only about scientific discovery. Students also enjoyed exploring
the captivating Dino Valley, where life-sized models of prehistoric creatures added both excitement and wonder to their day. Seeing majestic animals up close—creatures they had previously only read about in textbooks—made the experience even more impactful, bridging the gap between theory and reality.
Adding to the thrill, recreational activities gave students 
moments of joy, teamwork, and laughter, making the day both educational and enjoyable. The trip proved to be a perfect blend of science, adventure, and fun, leaving lasting memories for all who participated.
This PBL excursion at Safari Park truly 
brought learning to life. It inspired curiosity, fostered critical thinking, and reinforced the value of protecting our natural world. Beaconhouse Middle Campus takes pride in providing such enriching experiences that empower students to grow as responsible learners, explorers, and stewards of the environment.
