Practicalities

We can accommodate up to 90 students per session.
Our programs have a guide to student ratio of 1 : 30. Classes larger than 30 will be split into 30 or less. Please ensure you bring adequate supervision to meet this ratio.
The bus drop off and pick up location is at the Woolloomooloo Gate on Mrs Macquaries Road.
The meeting point is at the Education Centre, to the right as you enter the Woolloomooloo Gate.
Ensure you arrive 30 minutes before your lesson commences to allow time for a snack, a visit to restrooms and to stow away bags. Our educators will meet you outside the Education Centre prior to your program commencement.
Our educators will lead your session, but the class teacher is responsible for the care of the students. Adult helpers are welcome to participate as well.
The lesson is a focused learning experience. The students will be more engaged if they have participated in some relevant pre-excursion activities.
Adult helpers will be an asset if they have roles given to them before the lesson.
Teachers and assisting adults are free of charge.
