Education and Outreach
Archaeology provides a unique perspective on human history by uncovering and interpreting artefacts and material remains from our past. By learning about archaeology, school kids gain insight into how past societies lived, worked, and interacted with their environments.
Our Educators can provide classroom interactive activities to compliment the Deep Time Australia unit in Year 7. Our curriculum aligned classroom visits offer opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning. For example, our shoebox excavations encourages critical thinking through artefact analysis, how to formulate a hypothesis and draw conclusions about past cultures and events. Students learn to evaluate sources, consider multiple perspectives, and make evidence-based arguments, all valuable interdisciplinary skillsets.
Our experienced Educators integrate archaeological knowledge from various disciplines, including history, anthropology, geology, and environmental science. Through interdisciplinary learning, students gain a holistic understanding of past societies and their interactions with the natural world, fostering a more interconnected view of the world.
Our Modern Garbology exercise uses household items to critically assess a modern household through an archaeological lens. Engaging students in the process of discovery and exploration encourages a lifelong interest in history, science, and learning. Teaching archaeology enriches young people’s understanding of the past but also promotes cultural awareness and fosters a deeper connection to the world around them.

Testimonial
Thank you so much for giving your time to come and share your expertise with our students today.
You both ran such engaging and informative sessions, and the feedback from the teachers is the students (and teachers!) really enjoyed your sessions and learnt lots. I’m sure they still have many more questions!
