Staff development days

Are you looking for a wild professional learning experience for your staff? Why not engage with Taronga’s professional learning programs, designed to provide teachers with practical skills that help students engage with the living world.

Staff development days can be booked at any time the year and be shaped to match your school's needs in developing programs around STEM, literacy, data collection, and Cultural Understanding.

Programs are usually delivered on-site in the Institute of Science and Learning at Taronga Zoo Sydney, but can be amended to run sessions or full day programs at your school for staff development days or after-hours meetings.
