Convict Work at the Barracks: Special Homeschool Session
Sep
About the program
Bring your homeschool students to these specially priced virtual excursion sessions. In these special sessions we are allocating bookings to homeschool students only and are bringing the cost down to $10 per student (rather than the usual $65 per session) to make it more affordable for students not in a school class. Using Zoom the sessions will be small and will cross to all the homeschool families who book in a these times.
In this new virtual excursion, your Stage 2 class will connect live with a museum educator and learn about how convicts lived and worked at the Hyde Park Barracks in the early 19th century.
Students will examine a range of historical sources, including the World Heritage-listed building, and investigate some of the work done by the male convicts who lived at the Hyde Park Barracks. Students will see how the bricks from which the Barracks was built were made by hand; and find clues left behind by convict brick makers.
