Lesson Plan Packs
We have exciting news! We’ve been working on new curriculum-aligned lesson plan packs that are designed to maximise the educational value of your excursion while removing the time and effort required to develop teaching resources from scratch.
Each pack includes structured pre-visit, on-site and post-visit lessons, with your visit to Phillip Island Nature Parks forming the centrepiece of the learning journey.
We have recently launched three lesson plan packs, available free with participating education programs, and have many more in development. Packed with ready-to-use lesson plans, worksheets, presentations and fieldwork activities, these resources help teachers deliver rich, engaging learning experiences while making excursion planning easier than ever.

Introduce students to the needs of living things through the fascinating world of koalas.

The Koala Conservation Tour provides a memorable hands-on learning experience at the heart of the unit. |

Discover how ecosystems function and why biodiversity matters through the story of the Eastern barred bandicoot. Students investigate food webs, habitat requirements, threatened species recovery and conservation management before experiencing these concepts firsthand during the Bandicoot Discovery Tour. |

Use one of Australia's most iconic wildlife attractions as a real-world case study to investigate the impacts of tourism. Students collect and analyse fieldwork data, evaluate management strategies and explore the complex relationship between tourism, conservation and community.
