Curriculum-Aligned Guided Tours for Younger Students
We have separate programs for our Early Years and Primary School groups here at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast. For our Early Years students our guided tours focus on the Early Childhood Learning Framework with age-appropriate play-based activities to engage students. Our Primary Schools can choose from a range of programs, all aligned with the National Curriculum to best suit learning outcomes the students have been studying in the classroom.
