Learning

Located in the spiritual home of Australian democracy, Old Parliament House, MoAD is a must visit destination for your next Civics and Citizenship, History and Media education school trip.

We have missed all the excited students visiting MoAD and we look forward to welcoming schools back at the beginning of Term 3.

Things will be a little different when schools return, as we adhere to the Australian Department of Health guidelines to protect our community from Covid-19. We are implementing procedures to ensure the safety of all staff, teachers and students and you can read more about this in our COVID-19 Safety Plan.

While MoAD has been closed to the public, we have taken the opportunity to carry out vital conservation works in the heritage spaces and renewing two of our permanent exhibitions. These works, combined with current COVID-19 restrictions, mean that some of the elements of our onsite programs have been modified. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks.

We know  there are many schools who  are unable to visit MoAD this year. Our free Digital Excursions bring the heritage spaces of Old Parliament House directly into the classroom.

Suitable for students K-12, these free Digital Excursions cover multiple curriculum areas.

To support teachers to continue educating students about our democracy, we have developed a range of Australian curriculum aligned resources.
