Zoofari education continues to go wild at Auckland Zoo

Zoofari education continues to go wild at Auckland Zoo


This week Auckland Zoo continues to welcome schools as part of the wonderful Warehouse Zoofari programme - giving more kids a chance to engage in a wildlife education.

Today five classes from Holy Cross Catholic School (Henderson), put on their zoo-noculars to observe the zoo’s animals while learning all about what makes them so unique. Later in the week Cosgrove and Tamaki schools will be exploring with Zoo educators helping them learn about the animals in front of them and in the wild.

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.

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.
