What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Student was very enthused to deliver a baby animal - her mum is a midwife!
The highlight for my students was role playing working at a vets. They were the employers and asked a younger class to bring their pets (soft toys) in to see the vet.

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? They felt their students were engaged and able to talk about their learning
There were some great activities and were engaged and learned what I wanted them to walk away with. I did find it a bit awkward with some of the videos pertaining to TPR as one Talk focused on infection related to syphillis. I have a nursing background so went in a different direction for this part. Some of the reproductive talks were a little too explicit for the vibe I wanted from this unit.

What a fabulous kit! I used it as part of one of my Year 8 Future Skills/Careers classes and my students loved it. The kit itself is full of wonderful resources that are interesting to explore and use, and my students were engaged throughout the whole process. Thank you for providing such great kit.

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? A couple of parents have mentioned that the students had told them about it which is a good sign that they enjoyed it.
This was our introduction to our unit about animals in different parts of the world. It was motivating and the students really enjoyed the interactive and mystery element of this kit.

Did this kit increase your students awareness of the skills needed to work in the vet industry? Absolutely, some of the students even tried harder for the next few weeks, even though they are way off where they need to worry about pre-requisites. Very cute!

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Students very engaged and talking at home to parents about what they have learnt, as well as their future aspriations.
This kit is amazing! We loved learning about diagnostic techniques and the science involved (including a massive discussion about gaining qualifications in later schooling to become a vet), as well as the crossover to using coding to represent each animal and their symptoms. We had some robust discussions around each diagnosis.

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Students are now inspired to be vets!
I had a reading group that needed a challenge and more variety so I used story vets with the group of 10 students. They throughly enjoyed it and shared lots of their learning with the rest of the class.

Did this kit increase your students awareness of the skills needed to work in the vet industry? Yes. We also visited a bird rescue rehab clinic (Wildbase) so they had some insightful questions to ask the staff there!

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Very enjoyable learning opportunity and enough challenge to make them work! Parents reported being told about it at home which is a good sign!
In my intermediate school science GATE class our focus was on comparing anatomy. This kit offered an opportunity for my students to explore a particular animal in detail. The students loved the independent nature of the diagnostic activity and found the resources challenging but approachable. It did need me to some detailed planning and organising to identify the main steps and how to present the activity. I found it tricky to find some resources on the website as they were called one thing on the lesson plan and something else on the resources list. I could not download the lesson plan - I had to reopen it from the website each time I wanted to review it. Overall it is a clever and useful resource that worked well within my unit.
