Through our educational programmes, students will learn about how they can contribute to a sustainable urban ecosystem where humans and animals live in harmony. Topics covered will provide an understanding on animal welfare, being responsible to our pets and community, and identifying the type of animals that can be kept as pets. This is our commitment to create a society that is aware, compassionate and caring in our City in Nature.

Learning Journey at The Animal Classroom (Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden) 

In this programme, students will visit the animal classroom and meet rescued pets that are currently in AVS’ care. Students will learn what it takes to be a good pet owner and why only certain types of animals should be kept as pets. They will also get to observe a demonstration of cleaning, feeding and grooming for various pet animals, and understand the importance of caring for a pet collectively as a household.
