We recently welcomed a new member to the St Andrew’s School for Girls family for a few weeks, a Spotted Eagle Owl, to help rehabilitate and release. Thank you, The Owl Project, for entrusting us with her, and for all you do in educating communities about the importance of owls in our environment.

Owls are the best solutions in combating rodent problems, and as an EcoSchool, we urge our community to not use rodenticides. Not only do the poisons cause very painful deaths for rodents, but the owls are affected by secondary poisoning when they eat the poisoned rodents. Thank you to the sponsors who make it possible for The Owl Project to do the work they do: International Owl Centre, SPCA, Sage Foundation, Woodoc, Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital, and Hatch.
