Careers Days

Supervision

Please remind your students that other people are at the zoo for an enjoyable day out and following the basic supervision guidelines will ensure a great day for everybody:

  • Students remain the responsibility of the teacher at all times
  • It is important that students move respectfully through the zoo and consider animals and other members of the public.
  • Ensure students understand the needs of the animals and behave accordingly - loud noises and sudden movements can upset the animals
  • Ball games and whistles are not permitted on the zoo property
