Guest Speakers at Schools 

RSPCA WA Guest Speakers present to all school aged children from primary up to young adults. Guest speaker presentations are delivered by a knowledgeable, experienced volunteer who has a Working with Children Card. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to bring animals into centres or schools as many of the animals in our care are rehabilitating and are not suitable to bring along.

 How much does it cost?

We do not charge for presentations to school groups, but we do request a gold coin donation from each attendee, to be collected prior to the event.  

Donation of dog or cat biscuits and treats, as well as old towels, blankets and sheets on the day are gratefully accepted.

RSPCA WA guest speakers visit community groups and schools to talk to people about animal welfare issues, what RSPCA WA does, and responsible pet ownership.

RSPCA WA guest speaker presentations include information on:

• What it means to be a responsible pet owner.
• Empathy and the appropriate treatment of all animals, based on their welfare needs.
• Safety around animals, especially cats and dogs.
• Reducing the number of unwanted and abandoned litters.
• Reducing anti-social behaviour involving animals.
• RSPCA animal welfare campaigns.
• How to help improve the welfare of animals.

Presentation content is tailored to suit the age group of the audience, as well as their previous knowledge and experience.

RSPCA WA does charge a fee for guest speaker presentations.
