22.01.2022 Attention geography teachers (primary and secondary)! The African Savannah precinct is opened and we are launching two educational resources for Stage 3 and Stage 5 geography teachers. These resources explore the geographical concepts of place, interconnection, change and sustainability. This self-guided workshop allows students to engage in geographical inquire while exploring the African Savannah and its animals. Join Taonga Zoo for a digital 1-hour professional learning conference (NESA registered 6.2.2), where we will unpack these resources and explore the key messages of hope and sustainability in the new African Savannah Precinct. To RSVP please email [email protected].

01.01.2022 Yesterday, Brigidine College Randwick hosted the Project Koala 2020 Expo day. 175 students showcased their conservation solutions to help the ongoing survival of the Koala. Throughout Term 4, students from these schools connected with Taronga's experts in the field, ranging from educators, vets, zookeepers and renowned scientists. They even met koala detection dog Bear! The education team along, with the invited guests, were so impressed by the student’s innovative designs, from Koala emergency kits to detection drones the students used their creativity and love of koalas to come up with some great prototypes
