Events Calendar

WELCOME

We thank you for your interest in the Historic Houses Trust’s 2013 excursion program.

At our historic sites we are pleased to offer a range of stimulating programs, linked to the curriculum, that engage students in exploring Australia’s heritage. Designed by educators and guided by our highly trained staff, these programs provide unique experiences that support and extend history in the classroom and allow opportunities for authentic and connected learning.

Primary students can take part in an interactive visit to the old schoolhouse at Rouse Hill House and Farm and experience a re-creation of 19th-century school life in Lessons from the Past, spend time with convict Ivan Gotney in the virtual excursion A convict story, or participate in a hands-on session at the Justice & Police Museum to examine artefacts from the Ben Hall trial in Bailed-up.

For High Schools: In 2013 we are proud to be collaborating with the State Library of New South Wales to offer your Stage 6 students a seminar day, The Project and with the Australian Theatre for Young People to explore aspects of our early history with Stages 4 & 5 through theatrical performances in The Rocks.
