Why book a session with RSPCA Education
 

Benefits of either coming into the RSPCA Education Centre in Burwood East (excursion), or having an Education Officer come out to your school (incursion) to discuss the RSPCA, it’s importance to animal focused organisations, and how it effects your everyday lives, even though most  VCE biology students would realise it:

• Greater awareness of the RSPCA , what we do, and how the community can help

• Teenagers today are very animal focussed, particularly when it comes to the animals they have had the most experience with, their pets

• For rural Victorian schools, discussions can be focussed on agricultural related issues. this helps create a greater awareness of RSPCA district activities, and how they can help, by volunteering their time, or donating food, cash, towels or blankets

• RSPCA Education service is currently FREE of charge to schools ( we do appreciate any donations)

• Where at all possible Education Officers are accompanied by their temperament tested canines.
