Program and Philosophy

Moonlit Sanctuary offers a unique semi-bush environment with many free-roaming animals in our “Living Classroom”.

The philosophy of our Education Team and program is to allow learners to have close and meaningful interactions with our animals, participate in activities that reinforce learning about science concepts and practise science skills.

Our programs are designed to help learners of all ages appreciate the amazing interconnections of the ecosystems that support our beloved Australian fauna. Our planning is influenced by a growing body of research that recognises the importance of meta-cognitive awareness around complex environmental topics, informed by science and the arts as well as local and traditional knowledge.

We are continually developing our programs to better differentiate, offering greater student choice and self-selected learning.

Showcasing students’ work

After visiting us and participating in a program many students are very inspired and send us amazing work; illustrations, poems and stories.
