The Memo: we can come to you!
Welcome to Term 2.
MoAD has seen over 24,000 students and teachers take part in our programs so far this year. We're excited to meet each and every one of you. And if you can't come here to us, then we can come to you digitally.
Following the successful launch of our first digital excursion for upper primary and lower secondary students, Democracy, Media and Me, we are now looking for opportunities to test our upper secondary program, It's My Right, Isn't It?
If you teach years 8-10 and would like to participate in a free trial program, please get in touch: DigitalExcursions@moadoph.gov.au
