Introducing our inaugural (and may we say very awesome) Junior Volunteers Shari and Nick…
 |
Both super stoked to have been an important part of the Autumn by the Sea school holiday program! |
After coming to the MDC on various occasions (careers day & science experience) Pam approached me and told me of the new program called "Junior Volunteers". Aimed at enthusiastic young (Year 10) people, I jumped at the chance and threw my hand up. In my first 3 days I learnt and experienced so many new things. Whether it be creating marine portholes with kids or canoeing with banjo sharks, I'm always learning about what the MDC does.

Being a Junior volunteer for this week has been a fantastic experience! I have gained more knowledge about the marine life that I have never known before, off both the senior volunteers and MDC staff. Some examples of what i have learnt are: that a decorator crab uses its saliva to attach weeds to decorate itself, and that a cuttlefish is colourblind. So this experience for me has widened my knowledge on the marine world thanks to all the people at the MDC.
