RSPCA offers school holiday program

RSPCA Victoria will be running engaging and educational programs starting next week for animal lovers of all ages.

For the first time, the programs will be available in different formats to suit a variety of audiences including face to face sessions as well as virtual programs.

RSPCA Victoria Education and Training Manager Belinda Marchbank said the classes, taught by professional educators at RSPCA Victoria, offer something for any child with an interest in or love of animals.

“Our school holiday program this year will offer great variety and choice for kids, providing the opportunity to learn about animal welfare while nurturing their love of all living creatures. There are also programs that you can do as a family for some special holiday time for adults and kids together,” Ms Marchbank said.

RSPCA Victoria’s school holiday program runs from Monday 10 January to Friday 21 January, with a selection of classes provided free-of-charge. Paid programs will be $49 for children aged five to seven years, or $85 for children aged seven to 16 years.
