Parliamentary educators deliver education programs through a hands-on experience of how Parliament works. It is an ideal way to build on civics and citizenship studies for students and teachers.
Outreach programs are based on the onsite program core concepts and learning intentions. Please refer to the Parliament House role-play program for curriculum alignment (Australian Curriculum Version 9.0).
Outreach for students
Our outreach program explores the function, purpose and value of Australia's democratic system of government. It does this through investigating:
- how laws are made through Parliament
- the responsibilities of representatives
- the formation of government
- how government is kept accountable
Outreach for teachers
Educators on outreach also deliver professional learning programs to pre-service, primary and secondary teachers.
