We are proud to offer a range of engaging programs, linked to the curriculum, that involve students in exploring evocative historic places and discovering the changing stories of the people who lived, worked and played at these places over time. An excursion to an HHT property gives your class access to authentic historical sites and sources, and all our programs are designed by educators to provide quality, multilayered learning experiences for students across HSIE, SciTech, Mathematics and Creative Arts.

Wherever you are in New South Wales, your class can have access to the high-quality resources of the HHT by participating in a virtual excursion. Join us at the Hyde Park Barracks via videoconference for A Convict Story, the highly popular tale of the incarceration of convict Ivan Gotney.
