Connecting a wide audience with nature Two Oceans Aquarium Environmental Education Centre Booking Pack
Welcome to the Two Oceans Aquarium Environmental Education Centre School Groups - Discovery Centre lessons: The Two Oceans Aquarium’s Environmental Education Centre has a range of lessons designed to complement your visit and to focus the minds of your pupils on what they will experience when walking through the Aquarium. Each lesson focuses on a specific marine topic as well as general marine environmental issues. The lesson options are broadly CAPS compliant. This enables you to choose a topic related to class work that you might be covering during the year. Your visit to the Aquarium could thus serve as an introduction to a subject or revision of the subject. You are welcome to consult with our teaching team, before your visit, to arrange an activity specific to your requirements. Enrichment Courses: Our Marine Sciences Academy programme comprises several courses that cater for young people who have a passion for the ocean and who may be interested in a career in Oceanography or Marine Biology. These courses focus on interesting animals and environments. The Young Biologist course is aimed at Grade Tens who are interested in becoming Aquarium volunteers. Our Marine Science components provide enrichment for Grade Elevens who are interested in studying Marine Science at tertiary level. These courses and components are conveniently presented over weekends and school holidays. Please see further details on these courses in this booklet or visit our website on www.aquarium.co.za. Contact Details: For school group bookings, please contact Carrin Virèt on schools@aquarium.co.za or call +27(0)21 814 4559. For more information on our enrichment programmes and how to apply, please contact Katja Laingui on education@aquarium.co.za or call +27 (0)21 814 4555.
