Program description

Zoos Victoria is passionate about engaging and inspiring future leaders in conservation science. There are a number of different tertiary options that we offer at our zoos.

To find out more about these programs, you can book into our weekly Teacher's Excursion Information Session below.

1. Teacher Education - Pedagogy in Practice

Give your pre-service students a ‘peek under the hood,’ of education at Melbourne Zoo. Our Zoo Teachers will take your students through one of our programs to explicitly model and explain the how and why we deliver education at Melbourne Zoo. Your students will have an opportunity to experience and learn what pedgaogy looks like in practice at the Zoo.

Once we receive your booking, we will work with you to develop an Education program that will best meet your students’ needs.

2. Other Subject Areas - Tertiary Programs

Zoos Victoria provides relevant and memorable experiences for tertiary students. During workshops and zoo tours, your students will learn about issues at the heart of Zoos Victoria’s moral purpose and experience the zoo from a whole new perspective. 

3. Self-guided

Explore our zoo at a pace that suits your class. Available at all four zoos.
