Five educational learning modules (2 middle primary, 1 upper primary and 2 lower secondary) have been developed to give students some insight into Queensland's rich maritime history.
Each module provides a complete program of activities that focus on one aspect of the exhibits featured at the Queensland Maritime Museum. They include activities that can be undertaken before a visit to the museum; interactive activities conducted at the museum; and post-visit activities to help students synthesise their understandings.
The Museum welcomes visits by school groups, either independently or as part of a structured maritime history experience. Visits may be programmed as part of a day excursion, which includes studies of the City.
Tours may be managed by teachers or the museum can supply trained volunteer guides for the group. At least 48 hours prior notice is required to ensure availability of guides.
Parking for coaches is available in the Museum grounds, but must be pre-arranged.
Discounted entry fees and concessions exist for school tours. See Admission Tickets for details.
To book a school visit, phone 07 3844 5361, fax 07 3846 1945 or email: info@maritimemuseum.com.au. A School or Group Booking form is available which may be printed out, completed and forwarded to the Museum.
