Primary School Excursions at Telethon Kids Institute
Get your class excited about science and health research with a school excursion to the Telethon Kids Institute!
Our primary school excursions offer the opportunity for students in Years 3-6 to visit Telethon Kids Institute and our interactive Discovery Centre inside Perth Children’s Hospital in Nedlands, Western Australia. Students participating in our 2.5-hour school excursion program get the opportunity to:
- Spend time in the Discovery Centre, where students will learn about science, health and research through fun and interactive games
- Engage in hands-on science activities run by our very own Telethon Kids researchers; and
- Participate in a guided viewing of a real-life working science lab
The benefits of school excursions are limitless with the science and health-based learning programs we offer at Telethon Kids Institute.
