Our programs have clear and direct links to numerous KLA Syllabus Stage Statements, Outcomes, Objectives, Aim Statements, Content and Cross Curriculum learning. Our interactive program will inspire your students’ sense of curiosity, inquiry and investigation and encourage them to pose questions and make conclusions.

Additionally, the interactive experience had by the students can be an engaging tool for creative and / or descriptive writing post our visit.

Examples of how our programs directly link to KLAs include but are not limited to :

Sustainability : A key learning focus across many KLAs and can be difficult to teach and program for. Our presentations have an embedded focus not only on the amazing diversity of marine life, but also on the threats they face and the role each individual can play in their conservation. A clear message of interconnections between humans and places is given.

Fundamental sustainability elements of our presentations include :

Students are challenged to ask “What difference can I make?”
Plastic pollution / Recycling - a designated and interactive ‘pollution demonstration’ display aquarium as part of every presentation.
Warming sea temperatures / coral bleaching - real life examples for students to handle of bleached coral, coupled with a step by step explaination of how and why corals are bleaching.
Over fishing - real life demonstration of the effects of ‘ghost nets’ and other aspects of poor fishing practices.
Solutions - students will be challenged to think about how they can make a difference to their local and the wider marine environment.

Enviroment and Change : A fundamental learning area throughout the Geography Syllabus. Our programs address the themes of how the environment supports and enriches human and other life by providing raw materials and food, absorbing and recycling wastes, maintaining a safe habitat and being a source of enjoyment and inspiration.

Linked Outcomes include but are not limited to :
