Bookings

• We ask that two parent or carer helpers accompany each class in Terms 2 and 3 to supervise the toasting activity
• Grandparents are welcome – we love their stories!
• A detailed excursion plan will be emailed on confirmation of your visit
• We recommend that the students eat morning tea on arrival as they’re usually hungry and the sessions can then be run uninterrupted

Schools are advised to book as early as possible to secure a date. Most schools book a term or two terms ahead. Bookings are taken in order of receipt.

We usually have a two class minimum of 44 students for bookings. This doesn’t usually apply to classes of students with additional needs. For mainstream single class bookings, we try to book in another one or two classes. If we can’t, we usually need to charge an additional fee to cover our costs. This may also apply to bookings under 44 students. This is negotiated at the time of booking.

Visit fees fund staffing, collection management and conservation works and are our sole funding source.  

Please check the calendar for available dates and email us your preferred dates, grade and numbers of students, arrival time and contact details.

Cancellations

Any confirmed booking that is cancelled within 14 school-term days of the visit will incur a $200 cancellation fee.
