Cetacean Sisters offers an engaging and interactive five-session workshop series designed specifically for secondary school girls with a curiosity about marine science and future STEM opportunities. Participants will dive into the fascinating world of whales and dolphins found in Victorian waters, gaining hands-on experience with real-world cetacean science activities.
The workshops foster a supportive small-group environment where students can connect with peers who share their interests. Led by a local cetacean scientist and marine science colleagues, the sessions provide valuable mentoring and insights into STEM career pathways.
Students will also benefit from ongoing support, including 12 months of free access to the Circle Community app, helping to sustain their learning and engagement beyond the workshops.
This workshop series consists of five sessions held on Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:00. The scheduled dates are May 2, 9, 23, 30, and June 13, 2026. Each session is designed to build practical field-based skills and deepen understanding of marine wildlife research.
The cost for the full series is $595, with Zip and Afterpay payment plans available to ease financial planning. The program is ideal for secondary school girls interested in science, marine biology, and environmental studies.
All sessions take place at the Mount Martha House Community Centre, located at 466 Esplanade, Mount Martha, 3934. This venue is accessible and situated in a welcoming community setting, making it convenient for families in the Mornington Peninsula region.
Participants and parents can easily find the location via online maps, and parking is available nearby. The community centre provides a comfortable and safe environment for learning and exploration.
This program is tailored for secondary school girls and emphasizes hands-on learning and mentorship. Early registration is recommended due to limited spots and the small-group format.
