Our night school astronomy and stargazing incursions are suitable for all students, and their families too! Linking to the West Australian Science Curriculum, our incursions begin with a short indoor presentation about the interactions and mechanics of the Earth, Moon and Sun, as well as the Earth’s position in the Solar System and galaxy and the size of the Universe. Plus, updates on the latest Mars/Moon Space missions.

Our team of enthusiastic and engaging astronomy guides will then spend the remainder of the night observing the universe through a wide variety of different telescopes with your students. Our astronomy guides have a deep knowledge of astronomical information, ranging from solar system movement and planetary science to stellar lifecycles and cosmological theory.

All of our guides have current Working With Children Cards and maintain professionalism whilst engaging with students and adults alike.
