Professional Development
In our half-day professional development courses, staff can immerse themselves in the ocean of stories told in the Western Australian Museum - Maritime. Our museum has three sites which can be included in your visit - the Maritime Museum on Victoria Quay, the Submarine Ovens and the Shipwreck Galleries in Cliff Street - all of which lie within the historic maritime precinct of Fremantle. Your professional development experience can be tailored to include visits to any or all of these sites.
Teachers are given a folder containing Teacher's Guides which outline curriculum links and provide a feast of pre-visit and post-visit activities to extend an excursion into a unit of work. Information about our existing programs is also included. Our school programs can be tailored to meet individual teacher's content requirements. Morning or afternoon tea can be provided.
Three hours + tea + resource folder $15.00 per person
Two hours + resource folder $10.00 per person
