As part of our Inquiry unit on living things and their environment, the children in Prep will be attending an excursion to Werribee Open Range Zoo. The children will participate in the Habitat Heroes education program and explore the Zoo on an African Safari bus ride. The aim of this excursion is to broaden students’ understanding of the habitats of various living things and examine what is needed for their survival.

We would very much appreciate the assistance of some parents on the day so that we can keep our groups to a workable size. If you would like to help and have a valid “Working with Children Check” certification, which has been registered in CareMonkey, and have been through the St Peter’s Volunteer Interview process, please indicate accordingly below and your child’s teacher will contact you.
