Students from Kalkie and Bargara State schools recently welcomed two Great Barrier Reef experts into their classroom to showcase their reef conservation projects.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) chief executive officer Josh Thomas and chief scientist Dr David Wachenfeld recently visited the region to meet with students from the two local schools.
Kalkie State School teacher Judith Stutchbury said students were thrilled by the experience.
"Josh Thomas and Dr David Wachenfeld were excellent and spoke nicely on the students level (which) inspired them very much," Ms Stutchbury said.
"The CEO said the students inspired him with the conservation and protection work they have been doing."
Both special guests stopped by after they were invited by grade 3 Kalkie student Thomas Rehbein.
During the visit Bargara students showed Mr Thomas and Dr Wachenfeld their beeswax wraps while their peers from Kalkie discussed their Fantastic Not Plastic campaign.
