Check-in at 8am. Please ensure your teen brings a water bottle and lunch, and wears closed in shoes, comfortable clothes and a hat.
Insight into Zookeeping
Tuesday, 14th January
Do you have a keen interest in wildlife and want a real zoo experience? This program gives budding, eager zookeepers to be hands-on exposure to what it's like working in the zoo industry, and a firsthand look at the work that comes with the territory.
Teenagers will be exposed to animal husbandry, animal conditioning, enrichment making, exhibit design, animal observations and record keeping. It's a terrific introduction to Certificate 2 in Animal Care!
*Please note, animal handling is not included as it requires formal qualifications. This program will show what zookeepers actually do daily.
