Boola Bardip Familiarisation (where do I start?)

Not sure where to start? Join us once a term for our orientation day and become more confident and connected with the Museum.

We will step you through Boola Bardip's educational programs and take you on a tour through the Museum, providing practical information so you can maximise your school visit.

This Professional Learning provides an opportunity for educators to explore the WA Museum Boola Bardip and develop an understanding of gallery themes, perspectives, and content.

Participants will investigate the Museum galleries and explore how to leverage the Museum’s collections to create meaningful learning experiences for students and develop their knowledge of object-based learning.

This workshop promotes inquiry learning and its application to Museum experiences, analysing the exhibitions and providing practical tools that can be replicated in the classroom or a museum visit.

Suitable for teachers of all year groups and is particularly helpful for those planning a trip to the Museum.  

 “Great overview and introduction to the Museum.” - Participant feedback.
