Secondary students’ study sessions

Extended study sessions are conducted by Gallery educators and create links between a Gallery visit and classroom studies. Study sessions may include discussion tours, practical workshops, audiovisual presentations and films. In addition to those scheduled, other study days can be tailored to suit your needs. Costs are nominal and bookings are essential.

 

Registered Unit – Artbites

Artbites provides senior students with the opportunity to participate in a comprehensive study of works of art in the national collection and gain a greater understanding of the Gallery's functions and services. The registered unit is conducted by Gallery educators working with small groups of students for eight weeks and requires commitment by the student to be self-motivated and attend weekly sessions. Successfully completed Registered Units are reported on the Year 12 Certificate and Secondary College Record. Colleges and schools are notified when the Registered Unit is being offered, or teachers can contact the Education Office for more information.
