The Earth’s Environment at Symbio

Surround your students with the wildlife and amazing scenery Symbio Wildlife Park has to offer! Through observing the habitats, climates and animals, students can examine close-up how important natural vegetation and the earth’s resources are to the environment and the livings things that call this place home. As they wander through the different enclosures mimicking environments from around Australia and the world, they’ll examine the features and characteristics of places and environments whilst watching cute critters go about their day! They’ll learn the different needs of animals in different environments and see how their habitats support their lives. Mingling with fellow students and learning about the daily life of animals, students will be encouraged to examine differing perceptions about the management of places and environments and describe the ways people, places and environments interact. They will learn about the ways environments are used by people of different backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and how we can work together so sustain and preserve our earth’s precious resources. Forming connections with native and non-native animals, students will gain an appreciation for their own role in sustainability and think critically about how they can manage waste and people to support the life of livings things. With up-close animal encounters and tonnes of fun facts, students will revel in this super fun-day at Symbio that they’ll remember for months to come!
