About People Live in Places at Symbio
Discover the importance of different places to people and living things at Symbio Wildlife Park! During this unforgettable and exciting day, students embark on guided tours observing both native and exotic animals and their environments. They discover a diverse range of animal habitats and their features within wetlands, water lagoons, bushland, deserts and rainforests. As they see different animals in their habitats, they’ll gain an understanding of the importance of places to people and animals and explore the characteristics and needs of living things. Through integrated learning experiences, students investigate ways in which people interact with and care for places whilst identifying their natural and human features. With a focus on the importance of looking after different environments, students discover the varying connections of special places for different people and animals whilst getting up close and personal with some furry and scaly friends. They’ll interact with animals, patrons and fellow students and use interpersonal skills to effectively interact with others in the wildlife park, and gain respect for other people and the places they live in and belong to. Every student will be engaged and enthusiastically involved in this fun and memorable day!

Introduction and Live Animal Presentation: Start the day in the amphitheatre with your own exclusive live animal presentation. Meet a selection of five animals ranging from possums, lizards, snakes, reptiles, birds, and alligators. Please note that animals may differ from day to day, and while we endeavour to include as many animals in the presentation as possible, our primary responsibility is to ensure that animals and students are safe and comfortable, and we may elect to exclude an animal from the presentation at the Ranger’s discretion if it becomes distressed or agitated.
