Onsite programs

Students bring history to life as they unpack stories that have helped shape our nation and re-enact historical political events in the heritage chambers where they happened. Students participate in role-play, inquiry-led discussion and collaborative learning to make connections between our democratic past and their role as global citizens.

Facilitated programs are eligible for the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate; see pacer.org.au. All programs MUST be booked in advance and final numbers confirmed to support staffing ratios on the day of your visit.

Digital Excursions

Direct to your classroom or individual devices, our digital excursions allow your students to investigate their role in our democracy by exploring historic spaces, participating in engaging interactive activities and developing their critical thinking and historical inquiry skills.
