School Visits

Health and safety is top priority for the Memorial, and social distancing and hygiene guidelines remain in place. To safely manage school visits we have made changes to school bookings in Term 3 and Term 4 2020. There will be no availability for new bookings for Term 3 (20 July to 30 September 2020). Bookings for Term 4 (1 October to 18 December 2020) will re-open in a staged, modified capacity on 24 August 2020 for the facilitated Wartime stories program ($5.50 per student). Visits will be limited to primary students only, secondary school visits remain suspended and no teacher-guided time is available.

 

We look forward to welcoming your school group to the Memorial. Bookings are essential for all visiting schools. You'll find everything you need to organise and plan your visit on this page.

Memorial development project

The Memorial is undergoing several major development changes which will impact Education bookings and school visitors. To manage this impact the length of a school visit will be up to a maximum of three hours onsite. If you would like to enquire further or you would like assistance with making your booking please contact school.bookings@awm.gov.au.
