School Incursions

Connect Students to Conservation & Wildlife

If you cannot come to us, we can come to you! Our educational visits give children the opportunity to learn about some of Australia’s unique animals, conservation, sustainability and First Nations culture.

Our Options

Wildlife On Wheels

Our Wildlife On Wheels program offers your students a break from the usual routine and expand their learning. All without the extra cost of school buses, meals or other costs related to school excursions, because we come to you!

You can choose from an animal or Indigenous theme, both linked to the Australian Curriculum for all year levels. We visits all types of educational institutions including early childhood centres, ESL and P-12 groups.
