In 2024, Padua College partnered with the Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation to work on the Western Port koala habitat corridor at its Tyabb Campus on Frankston-Flinders Road.
With the support of local conservationists, community volunteers and staff, students planted over 1,200 native trees and shrubs, providing much needed food and shelter for the local koala population.
