Environmental Education Programme

Please note: The Bickley Battery Tour and Wadjemup Bus Tour are unavailable until further notice. All RIA educational activities are fully booked for March 2010 and therefore no more bookings will be taken for March. However, guided tours and other activities are still available.

The Environmental Education program offers a range of dynamic activities, encouraging active student involvement and experiential learning.  Students are able to investigate the Island's remarkable environment, including its history and culture; terrestrial and marine life; flora; and conservation and management.

Rottnest Island's natural environment provides an ideal location for many of these activities; while others are conducted in our Discovery Centre which contains education exhibits, art facilities and a laboratory containing microscopes and other investigative equipment.

The Environmental Education Program has been developed in accordance with the Curriculum Framework and is aimed at students of all levels and abilities.  The activities are delivered by experienced and qualified Education Officers.
