School Programs


The South Oakleigh Wildlife Shelter encourages schools and community groups to learn about our wildlife and our environment.

It is essential that our environment is sustained so that our wildlife can continue to survive. We are available for talks and displays at schools and community events.
We teach how to live in harmony with our wildlife whilst at the same time preserving the natural habitat of our wildlife.

A PowerPoint presentation hosted by Michele, the founder of Oakleigh wildlife shelter.
The talk will consist of educating the students about the protection of wildlife and what they can do if they ever find injured wildlife.
They will also be taught about the importance and protection of our environment and the animals who share it.
These talks can be held during the week. Please don't hesitate to contact the shelter if interested.
