Planting the seeds of ocean literacy—one student at a time

National Parks Teacher Professional Development
Wednesday 7 October | 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Be inspired to bring South Australia's incredible marine environment to life in your classroom.

Join the Marine Discovery Centre and National Parks and Wildlife Service SA for an engaging, hands-on professional learning session designed to build confidence, spark ideas and strengthen ocean literacy across the curriculum.

You'll:

• Discover Porci Explores Marine Parks, an exciting new animated short film, and explore the accompanying curriculum-aligned teacher resource.
• Learn how to use engaging marine science and marine park resources to inspire curiosity and connect students with South Australia's unique marine environments, with Maria Taylor from Outside the Box learning.
• Explore practical classroom activities that help students understand, value and protect our ocean.

Following the workshop, enjoy an exclusive tour of the Marine Discovery Centre. Meet the real-life Porci and his ocean friends, discover the wonders of the Great Southern Reef, and experience immersive, hands-on learning, including Kaurna cultural perspectives.

This free professional development opportunity is proudly funded by Parks Australia and presented by the Marine Discovery Centre, National Parks and Wildlife Service SA, and Outside the Box Learning.
