Holiday Programs & Online Courses
Our Holiday Programs are designed to provide OSHC centres with affordable, fun and educational vacation care activities throughout the school holidays. Holiday Programs are delivered by qualified and enthusiastic marine educators and provide an interactive hands-on experience with our live marine animals.
We also offer adhoc Marine Biologist for a Day Programs during school holidays – these inspirational days are a great way for ocean enthusiasts to discover more about the ocean.
To compliment our Holiday Programs, and fulfil demand for online learning, we have recently launched certified online courses – Amazing Sharks & Humpback Whales – see details below. These courses are a great way for children to get educated and inspired at home.
