The RSPCA NSW School Holiday Program is welcoming back students to our Sydney (Yagoona) Adoption and Education Centre this spring, for some educational fun with our staff and animals.

Starting Monday 26 September,  all sessions are tailored to specific age groups and interests, with two separate sessions on offer: Animals at RSPCA NSW and Animal Careers.

If you have a child that loves animals as much as we do, sign them up for a pawsome day at RSPCA NSW featuring behind-the-scenes shelter tours, creating enrichment for our animals, and learning more about animal welfare.

“We are so excited to be able to welcome back students into our brand-new state-of-the-art Adoption and Education Centre, to teach the next generation about the importance of being kind to animals,” said RSPCA NSW Education Officer Eva Wong.

“The Animals at RSPCA NSW session involves learning about how we look after the animals in our care,  and the Animal Careers session features staff from across our organisation, teaching the children about how they can pursue a career working with animals.”

To be a part of the fun these school holidays, select your topic of interest and appropriate age group:

• Animals at RSPCA NSW: 8-11 years
• Animals at RSPCA NSW: 12-15 years
• Animal Careers: 13-17 years

Spaces are filling up fast, so book now to secure your spot!

Please note:

Our shelters use peanut butter as part of the enrichment program for the animals. If your child or children have allergies, or you have any concerns, please feel free to contact the Education Team on (02) 9782 4478 prior to registering.

For the safety of our shelter staff, if your family has been in contact with anyone who has a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis in the past 7 days, is showing flu-like symptoms or has a fever, please stay home.
