Here’s a little of what he has to say… “In Australia we are very fortunate that a very high standard of education, based on the essential foundations of numeracy and literacy, is available to all. We are indeed just fortunate to be in this wonderful country. However, along with that privilege comes a certain responsibility. It is up to each one of us to contribute within the scope of our individual means and abilities to the welfare of our wondrous country. Our natural environment is a treasure. Once lost much of it is irreplaceable… and the bits are slipping away. A clear way to invest in the future is through the education of our youth and there is no better program than SOS Aussies to promote the appropriate spirit in students of all ages. Positive attitudes and actions are a product of knowledge, understanding, awareness and experience. SOS Aussies presents it all in an environmental education program of outstanding quality which is recognized as the leader in the field. It offers an unforgettable experience which will carry its influence for years to come.” Bryce Courtenay .. 2005
SOS Aussies is a pioneer and leader in the field of mobile environmental education and reptile displays. Originating over 15 years ago through a joint initiative with the famous Australian Reptile Park, the legendry “We’re All Little Aussies” program paved the way for the next chapter - SOS Aussies – which explores emerging Aussie environmental issues and presents them within the framework of our unique, much loved, SOS Aussies formula…… with , of course, a lot of help from our scaly friends!
Our aim is to impart a joyful learning experience which not only leaves a smile on the dial of our audience but one which also fosters those attitudes and actions which promote a balanced Aussie environment. We explore the diversity of our amazing Aussies but caution that some may be dangerous, even deadly, and need to be avoided but even they too have their place and purpose.
SOS AUSSIES is backed by a wealth of educational , environmental and herpetological expertise. The program and presentation format has been created by highly qualified, award winning educators who have a professional understanding of curricula matters and the psychology of learning. Our presenters are outstanding in their dedication with exceptional skills in creatively communicating their knowledge, passion and enthusiasm to an audience – often in the most unexpected and delightfully entertaining way.
SOS AUSSIES presentations are consistently professional and supportive of major policies and guidelines including social justice issues of gender inclusivity, cultural and linguistic diversity and anti-racism. All presentations have a very high educational value which is often disguised as ‘Fun, Fascination and Feel the Reptiles’.
SOS AUSSIES operates Australia wide. All aspects of our operations conform with legal/educational/ethical standards and regulations to the highest level.
