Our museum has three sites which can be included in your visit – the Maritime Museum and Submarine Ovens on Victoria Quay 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.
- Our school programs can be tailored to meet individual teacher's content requirements.
- Morning or Afternoon tea is provided.
- Teachers are given a folder containing Teacher's Guides which outline curriculum links and provide a feast of pre- and post-visit activities to extend an excursion into a unit of work. Information about our existing program is also included.
- If available, our classroom overlooking Fremantle Harbour can be used to conduct your own professional development activities for the remainder of the day.
