Open your mind to the many wonders nature has to offer.
Environmental education programs
Whiteman Park’s environmental education programs offer students a unique opportunity to learn about the natural environment, conservation, groundwater, our native fauna, various ecosystems and much more through creative, interactive and engaging activities. Each program has been designed specifically for the intended age group and focuses on different aspects of the environment.
Our environment programs, set in the Children's Forest and Woodland Reserve, are delivered amongst Whiteman Park’s natural bushland by knowledgeable presenters and aim to provide students with a true environmental experience which would not be possible in a normal classroom setting.
Every program is aligned to Science or Mathematic content from the Western Australian Curriculum and embeds a sustainability thread throughout.
Transport Heritage education programs
Let us take you on a journey back in time as you explore how transport has changed over the years. Whiteman Park’s own Revolutions Transport Museum, along with the Tractor and Motor Museums, will provide you with a wealth of knowledge about the features of transport and the important role it plays in our lives.
Each program is matched to the History content descriptions from the Western Australian Curriculum for each year level.
Book your class in to enjoy a scenic trip on a vintage train or heritage electric tram around Whiteman Park’s magnificent parklands and bushland too – it's the perfect way to conclude your transport-themed excursion!
You can also incorporate the following options into your excursion program at Whiteman Park for no, or nominal, fees:
- Sports equipment hire
- Orienteering
- Bushwalking
- exploring the Children’s Forest
- Sports court
- a BBQ picnic
- Playtime in the large, shaded playgrounds.
