Across the University’s museums, galleries and collections we provide a variety of pathways for primary and secondary students to engage in exciting transdisciplinary education programs. Experienced staff centre the student experience within our collections, sparking scientific and artistic enquiry and fostering the development of transferable 21st Century skills.
School Excursions
The Museum & Collections School Excursions program offers upper primary and secondary Victorian schools learning programs that are inspired by the collections and exhibitions. Excursions are co-designed and delivered by our Learning Experience Facilitators, university STEAM students and our in-house science communicators whose passion and curiosity provides a point of difference from an ordinary excursion experience.
