About the workshop:

Our Guest Speaker, Max Walker from Murwillumbah Snake Catchers has been relocating, rescuing and caring for snakes with Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers (TVWC) since 2011. He is also known for his exceptional workshops with community sharing information on how to identify snakes and providing first aid.

There won’t be any real snakes at this session, but lots of photos, videos, and real stories. The workshop is designed to be interactive with lots of question answering!

The day will cover:

The session will include;

the most common 4 non-venomous snakes and 4 venomous snakes that you are likely to come across in the Gold Coast
information on snakes in general
how snake venom works and what it does
snake bite first aid including practice at applying a pressure bandage

This first part of the session is from 9 -10.30.

If you are a teacher in a Bush Kindy setting and want to know how to document management of snake hazards then stay on until 11am and Bec will answer all your questions.

Bec Burch of Cottonwood Learning, experienced and qualified Bush Kindy leader will also discuss how we can minimise risks in a Bush Kindy program through risk assessments and empowering children with knowledge and skills.
