This resource is part of a curated range of teacher resources designed to be practical, purposeful, and classroom-ready. Our printable teaching resources support learning goals while doubling as intentional classroom decor, helping teachers stay organised and confident.

An innovative fusion of conservation and education, created in collaboration with Taronga Zoo Conservation Society Australia to support meaningful learning both inside the classroom and beyond it. Designed with teachers in mind, the collection brings structure, clarity, and cohesion to learning spaces while connecting students to Australia’s most iconic and some of the most at-risk wildlife.

This free zoo-themed classroom decor bundle intentionally bridges classroom learning with real-world experiences. Resources are designed to support daily classroom routines, explicit teaching, and student independence, while extending learning opportunities during school excursions to Taronga Zoo. Students encounter the same visual language, species, and concepts at school and on-site at the zoo, strengthening relevance, engagement, and understanding.

At the heart of the collection is a focus on Taronga Zoo’s Legacy Species, encouraging curiosity, respect for wildlife, and an understanding of conservation as a shared responsibility. The design is refined, educationally purposeful, and adaptable across year levels.

Schools and teachers downloading this free classroom resource bundle will also receive access to a 25% Off Taronga Zoo Excursion Deal for Schools in 2026, supporting authentic, curriculum-connected learning experiences beyond the classroom.
