WHY PEOPLE LOVE

3 BIG
BENEFITS
Connected
As a society we have become disconnected from nature. Many students have become disengaged and lack respect for their environment. Reptile Encounters reconnects students and teachers with nature and ‘inspires’ students via our educational wildlife programs.
Wellbeing
We live in a digital era, which has resulted in our brains being permanently switched on. Our students stuck in facebook land are in fight or flight mode permanently. Connecting with nature allows students to escape from their online world and gain ‘perspective’.
Impact
By introducing students and teachers to our native wildlife, Reptile Encounters programs can improve learning, increase engagement and leave a lasting legacy. Ultimately the result of students experiencing our programs is ‘Better Humans’!
Our TC reptiles class was treated with a reptile encounter.
[Reptile Encounters] sent out some beautiful animals from crocs to stick insects; there was great variety!
Templestowe College
I just wanted to pass on some feedback about Tia and Jess who ran the incursions today at our school they were amazing in delivering the content and animal presentation. The students thoroughly enjoyed it and we are very happy with the quality and energy.

I first came across Reptile Encounters when you delivered a show at my work place for young people with a disability. I was so impressed that I thought I would hire your show for my nephews third birthday.
