School Incursion Packages - West Oz Wildlife

Our aim at West Oz Wildlife is to work in a supportive role in teaching Animal Care and Conservation and we believe a great way to foster these values in children is to offer teachers the opportunity to provide hands on experiences right in the class room to their students.

What to expect:

Our education program really motivates the students learning from a range of facts about each animal we bring. We present each animal separately. Talking on each of the species of wildlife. Children will learn about the basic dietary requirements of each animal, where they live and why they look the way they do.

We will discuss the particular habits and environmental needs of each species.
Investigate their habitat and discover ways to protect them.
Endangered species
Special features to help survival in the wild
Offspring
Snake safety and much more.
