| In the fall of 1997, the members of the diving service worked to establish a wet lab in the old Workshop at Race Rocks. | This involved moving two large touch tank-aquariums and installing a saltwater pump for the operation of the system.Local grade 7 students visit for a tour. | Andrew gets the students to think about the size of the Gray Whale mounted on the campus before the students load onto the boat for their trip to the Ecological Reserve. |

| On the way to the island, the boat stops at various islands to see the four species of marine mammal. | The visiting grade seven students were rotated around to the different stations upon arrival at the island of Great Race Rock in the ecological reserve. | Albert demonstrates marine invertebrates and their adaptions for feeding and locomotion , and Ragen urges the students top get a close up view of a sea star. |

A special thanks to Duane Prentice (PC year4), now a professional photographer working out of Victoria, who has contributed his time and energy to help us build up a set of pictures on Race Rocks. Most of the schools program pictures above have been supplied by him. |
