At Gifted and Talented Teacher, we believe the most powerful classroom resources are the ones that spark curiosity, invite conversation, and help young learners see their place in the world.

That belief is exactly why our collaboration with Taronga Zoo Sydney and Taronga Western Plains Zoo (Dubbo) has been so special.

Staying True to Our Roots

At the heart of this zoo-themed classroom decor collaboration is something deeply important to us at Gifted and Talented Teacher: staying grounded in what we do best — supporting teachers with thoughtful, practical resources that make classroom life lighter and learning richer.

Alongside the full Taronga Zoo collection, we were proud to bring forward a free and accessible set of classroom resources, created especially for the back-to-school period and beyond.

These classroom printables are designed to:

• Help teachers set up purposeful, welcoming learning spaces
• Spark curiosity from the very first weeks of term
• Support inquiry and discussion across the year
• Introduce conservation concepts in age-appropriate ways
• Give every classroom a meaningful entry point into the collection

This free range of zoo-themed teaching resources reflect our commitment to ensuring teachers can access high-quality materials — no matter their budget — and that students can engage with real-world learning long no matter their location.

It’s our way of honouring our roots: teacher-first, classroom-ready, and always created with care.

This zoo-themed classroom decor collection was created to support teachers from day one — whether you’re setting up a classroom in January, launching an inquiry unit mid-term, or weaving conservation conversations into everyday learning.

We’d love to see how they live in your classroom.
