Teacher Family Open Day
Free Zoo Day for Teachers – See What’s New in School Programs
Curious about what Zoos Victoria can offer your students?
Join us on Friday 3 October for Teacher Family Open Day - a free, fun day at the zoo for educators and their families, with opportunities to explore our learning programs and meet our education team.
Held across all four Zoos Victoria properties, Melbourne Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary, Werribee Open Range Zoo, and Kyabram Fauna Park, this day is designed to help teachers discover new ways to connect their students with wildlife and conservation through our educational experiences, all while enjoying a fun day out at the Zoo.
Bring your family, explore the zoo during opening hours, and take part in a professional learning workshop tailored for primary or secondary teachers.
What's Included
Free entry for one teacher, one accompanying adult and children (children are always free in school holidays)
Professional development workshops for teachers:
- Primary workshop at 10.30 am
- Secondary workshop at 11.30 am
Please note, children cannot attend these sessions, so please ensure your guest can care for them during workshop times.
Teachers who attend receive a one-hour PD certificate. The first 50 teachers to attend the workshops will receive a gift bag, plus all teachers will go in the draw to win one of eight $250 gift vouchers. Winners will be drawn on Monday 6 October and contacted via email.
Whether you're planning your next school excursion or just want to see what’s new, this is the perfect opportunity to connect with our team, and enjoy a great day out at the zoo.
