At Billabong Sanctuary we believe that creating a safe space for students to interact with Australian native wildlife provides them with a genuine learning experience which inspires them to care about conservation of our precious natural resources.
In 2018 we continue this exciting new programme to meet learning needs of students from Prep through Year 12:
Choose Your Own adventure Tour!
You select 6 of our native animals and your Ranger will talk about and engage with your students at their own level on a variety of selected topics such as animal adaptations, ecosystems or biodiversity, with time for students to interact with each animal.
Classes studying related topics such as tourism or geography are also welcome—we will work with you to create a tour that complements your classroom teaching.
Our educational tours are based on the Australian Curriculum across all Key Learning Areas and incorporate inquiry-based learning and the 5 E’s model through engaging, exploring and explaining.
COST for Choose Your Own Adventure Tour:
$14 per student
One FREE adult for every 10 students
$22 for every additional adult
PRIMARY SCHOOLS ONLY: Morning Tea: $6 pp Sausage Sizzle: $9 pp
CLUB BILLABONG membership entitlements or discounts do not apply
