MCH School receives a special visit

At Monash Health we love providing our patients and families with experiences that take them away from a hospital setting.

The Monash Children’s Hospital School recently received a visit from the Wild Action mobile zoo, allowing patients and their families to get up close and personal with some furry friends.

Patients were able to pat and hold a variety of native Australian animals, including a cuddly koala, possums, lizards, snakes, turtles, frogs and even a baby crocodile!

The incursion was organised to provide inspiration for writing tasks and art work in class over the next few days.

Thanks for visiting Wild Action, we look forward to seeing you again next term!
