Our Philosophy

The Gallery’s Education Program aims to:

  • directly engage students with artworks and objects.
  • encourage students to describe, analyse, interpret and evaluate artworks and objects
  • present meaningful, student-centred learning activities.
  • encourage students to engage with artworks, concepts and processes in creative ways
  • present cross-curricula learning opportunities
  • connect industry professionals with students and teachers

All our programs are free unless otherwise stated.

School Groups Tours

School Groups Tours

Free guided or self-guided general Gallery tours for school groups are also available. The Gallery also offers professional development workshops for teachers, alongside specific exhibitions. Many Gallery programs involve relevant industry professionals, which in the past have included visual artists, animators, puppeteers, chefs, musicians, dancers, entomologists and rangers. 

Please let us know your excursion requirements and Gallery staff will tailor a group tour accordingly.
