Have you ever seen a real-life dragon? We have! Eastern Water Dragons live around our school, sunbaking on rocks and darting into the bushes. This Science Week, we want to create something special just for them—a Lizard Haven! It will be a new garden built by students, full of native plants, big rocks, logs, and shady spots where our lizards can live safely and happily.

Our idea is to design and build a real lizard habitat right here at school. Students from year 6 will help plan, plant, and decorate the space. We’ll learn about what water dragons need to survive and study their behaviour—when they come out, where they hide, and how they grow and change over time. We'll write down what we discover in  observation journals and even take photos and make graphs of what we see.

The big moment will happen during Science Week, when we hold a special Lizard Haven Launch Day! We’ll invite families, teachers, and special guests to join us as we open the garden, share our discoveries, and celebrate all things scaly and scientific.

Our Lizard Haven won’t just be for one week—it will stay at school as a special place for students to explore science, nature, and sustainability for years to come.
