Last week 40 pupils from Acorn House visited the GSPCA to learn all about animal welfare and keep the animals at the Animal Shelter entertained.
Lorna Prince Animal Welfare Manager and Sarah Creasey Animal Welfare and Education Officer looked after the Acorn House pupils.
Shortly after the group arrived they were split in half so that each group could take it in turns having a guided tour of the facilities, whilst the other learnt about making enrichment toys for the animals at the GSPCA before swapping over.
Education has always played a huge part in the work of the GSPCA and next month we celebrate helping animals in Guernsey for 142 years.
Sarah Creasey Animal Welfare and Education Officer said "Last week Acorn House reception came in to learn about nocturnal animals at the GSPCA."
"They also got to meet up close one of our rabbits and a ferret."
"While half the group were being shown around, the rest of the group made enrichment toys, which were later given to the cats and rabbits."
"Education is a very important part of the work here at the GSPCA and we also enjoy enriching the environments of our animal residents."
"Next month we celebrate 142 years helping animals in Guernsey and if anyone would like to get involved with the GSPCA Purple Week we would love to hear from you."
"If anyone would like a school tour at the GSPCA or for us to come out and talk about our work please do get in touch."
If you would like to arrange an education tour of the GSPCA Animal Shelter or group talk please email Sarah Creasey, the GSPCA Animal Welfare and Education Office - [email protected] - or call the Shelter on 01481 257261.
