Enrichment, Deeper Understanding,
Inquiry, Thinking and Contentedness are just some of the
possibilities that can be fostered when using the Museum
Learning Centre in conjunction with a school visit to the
Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. Use the Museum Learning
Centre as a pre-visit meeting place to assist students to
focus on the topic you are studying, and post-visit to develop
concrete understandings experienced during a guided or unguided
exhibition tour, with drawing, writing, conversation and
reflection.
Each month we explore the
