Panmure Bridge School goes on Zoofari at Auckland Zoo

Auckland Zoo was very excited to welcome 170 students from Panmure Bridge School today for their roaringly great Warehouse School Zoofari programme.
The Warehouse School Zoofari is an innovative three-year partnership between Auckland Zoo and The Warehouse Auckland and Northland, with support from Ritchies Transport, which assists children from low-decile schools in the Auckland and Northland regions to experience conservation-based learning programmes at the Zoo.

Over $62K was raised in The Warehouse’s Auckland and Northland stores in January 2015 to assist with the costs of learning sessions at Auckland Zoo. Schools from around the two regions were invited to apply, and fifteen Auckland schools will be visiting the Zoo as part of the term two 2015 programme.

Auckland Zoo education experiences are Ministry of Education certified, and every Zoofari session is facilitated by an Auckland Zoo educator in partnership with teachers to ensure integration into the school curriculum.
