Education programs
The goal of all our programs is to assist students to remember, interpret and understand the Australian experience of operational service and wartime, and its enduring impact on Australian society.
Time onsite for students is currently limited to the length of their program/s. There is no teacher-guided time available in the galleries. The Discovery Zone has permanently closed for future redevelopment. Students are welcome to explore the outdoor Sculpture Garden outside of their program time.
