Wodonga Primary and our community have established a fantastic environmental area which houses kitchen garden beds and a variety of animals that are cared for by our students. This area is open for class visits and is supervised during lunch times. Our FROGS area is overseen by a student leadership group — “Friends of the FROGS” who are responsible for the daily care of the animals as well as the visits to classrooms under the guidance from an Assistant Principal.
