TARONGA ZOO WORK EXPERIENCE

Taronga Zoo's Work Experience program is for school students who are interested in pursuing a career in zoo keeping, animal care, tourism/education or zoo horticulture. The program is suitable for school students in years 10, 11 and 12. 

In the interests of fairness, only one successful applicant per school will be considered and possibly assigned to a Zoo animal division for one week (Monday to Friday), excluding school and public holidays. Careers advisers and students are required to read and sign the work experience information package. 

Interested students must return a cover letter and resume to the careers office before the end of this term. The cover letter should state your passion for working in this industry and include all previous experience. One student will be chosen from this application process for Sydney and one student for Western Plains Zoo. Please email me if you have any questions.
