Student Headquarters

Welcome to CC!: Welcome to the CC website. Catchment Capers is about watching the quality of our waterways over a school year and following and interpreting any changes in water quality parameters like turbidity and salinity.

When you do your monthly water testing down at the local creek or river you can log onto this site to add your results. You just need your teacher to help you with the username and password.

You are also able to check out results from other schools and even talk to them in the forum about water quality issues you might have in common. If you have photos or stories you'd like to put on the site just ask your teacher.

Happy monitoring!

"I wish there was something..." by Rebecca: The water cries out to me,

as I walk alone towards the river,

like I do everyday.

Today, it seems lower than normal,

so that I can see the surprise of the bottom…

In the water I see a reflection

And dirt, snags and rubbish,

A fish ensnared in rubbish.

Save the fish!

Let them swim away!

Nobody fishes here any more.

Too much noise,

Cars and machines,

Rubbish everywhere.

I am scared that no-one does a thing.

We might have it everywhere.

A last breath before I leave…

I wish there was something I could do…
