Curriculum-Aligned Guided Tours for Younger Students
We have separate programs for our preschool and primary school groups here at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast. For our preschool learners 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 tour topics, all meeting the needs of ACARA requirements, that best suit the topics they have been studying in the classroom.
To compare the options on different days please visit our main guided tours page for details. For information on the guided tours we offer for preschool and primary groups please see below!
