Most programmes will be free. Those that require entry to a touring exhibition that has been hired by the museum may attract a charge.
Parking is not always easy so make sure you have time to find a park before the programme starts. Classes will use the main door on the corner of Hardy and Trafalgar Streets. It is a good idea to collect up your class outside before coming into the museum as a group. There is room for students inside if it is raining.
We can store bags in the classroom upstairs and morning tea or lunch can be eaten on the roof garden.
We make you work!! Adult helpers will enjoy leading groups in various activities. This is empowering to parents.
