The Red-eyed Tree Frog, celebrated for its vibrant colors and striking appearance, was a popular pet worldwide. Unfortunately, habitat loss and climate change threaten its population, and effective conservation measures remain scarce. That is why our school launched a Breeding Program for the Red-eyed Tree Frog last year, focusing on species sustainability and educating students about biodiversity.

Over the past few months, students have dedicated themselves to various tasks, including feeding the frogs crickets, cleaning their tanks and building a rain chamber to encourage breeding. Designing and constructing this chamber in the Design & Technology Room has created lasting memories for the participants. After three attempts, their hard work paid off when the frogs successfully laid eggs that hatched into tadpoles.

While this achievement is worth celebrating, our students are eager to continue their efforts. They plan to further investigate how temperature and pH levels influence the sex ratio of tadpoles to optimise breeding yield. With their passion and commitment, we are hopeful that their future endeavours will yield even more success in conserving this remarkable species.
