Secondary School

Our learning programs for secondary students are designed to generate critical thinking about art and ideas. Through art making and conversation, students engage with our exhibitions to learn about art from a range of perspectives. We offer tours, workshops and artist talks that are connected to the curriculum and can be tailored to your individual needs. Our activities are artist led and are based on the current exhibition in our world class gallery. For our program see what is available at secondary school activities.
