Who Am I?
Overview
Who Am I is an introduction to classification. Students explore the ‘what', ‘why’ and ‘how’ of animal coverings through a hands on investigation of a mystery animal, as well as close encounters. In this education experience students make decisions about grouping animals using external features. An understanding of classification gives them a better appreciation of biodiversity within animal groups.

Supervising Adults
We want you to be able to supervise your students fully and fulfil your duty-of-care and so we provide free admission for supervising adults on the following ratios:
- K – 3 : One adult per five children (1:5)
- 4 – Tertiary: One adult per ten students (1:10)
Additional adult helpers pay regular Zoo admission. Perth Zoo offers free entry to carers or essential companions of those with particular needs. We accept the national Companion Card or a letter from a recognised care/social service organisation. The principal of the school needs to provide a letter identifying the carer/essential companion/Education Assistant (Special Needs) that will be accompanying your group.
