Supervising adults
We want you to be able to supervise your students fully and fulfil your duty-of-care and so we provide free admission for supervising adults on the following ratios:
- K – 3 : One adult per five children (1:5)
- 4 – Tertiary: One adult per ten students (1:10)
Additional adult helpers pay regular Zoo admission.
Carers and companions
Perth Zoo offers free entry to carers or essential companions of those with particular needs. We accept the national Companion Card or a letter from a recognised care/social service organisation.
The principal of the school needs to provide a letter identifying the carer/essential companion/education assistant (special needs) that will be accompanying your group.
Science Understanding – Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the process by which the body maintains a relatively constant internal environment; it can involve a stimulus-response model in which change in external or internal environmental conditions is commonly detected and appropriate responses occur via negative feedback.
Thermoregulatory mechanisms include structural features, behavioural responses and physiological mechanisms to control heat exchange and metabolic activity; animals can be endothermic or ectothermic.
The type of nitrogenous waste produced by different vertebrate groups can be related to the availability of water in the environment.
Animals have a variety of behavioural, physiological and structural adaptations to maintain water and salt balance in terrestrial and aquatic environments.
Science Inquiry Skills
Represent data in meaningful and useful ways, including the use of mean, median, range and probability; organise and analyse data to identify trends, patterns and relationships; discuss the ways in which measurement error, instrumental accuracy, the nature of the procedure and sample size may influence limitations in data; and select, synthesise and use evidence to make and justify conclusions.
Interpret a range of scientific and media texts, and evaluate models, processes, claims and conclusions by considering the quality of available evidence; and use reasoning to construct scientific arguments.

BYO and chartered bus
The safest way to drop students off is to enter the carpark off Mill Point Road and drive along the access road (10km/hr) and pull into a temporary bus bay to unload. Charter buses can then proceed to exit onto Labouchere Road and BYO buses can circle the block and park in the (free, limited) bus parking in the Mill Point Road parking area.
Lunch
Ordering lunch via Flexischools is the easiest and most convenient way to ensure your child’s excursion is otterly zooper. Simply download the Flexischools app and Perth Zoo’s excursion menu will be available to make an order.
Off display
With the Zoo open every day of the year, this means that some exhibits and areas may be closed and animals off-display from time to time. Check the Off Display section on the day of your visit.
