Can’t come to us? We’ll come to you! MoAD Learning is launching a new digital excursion program. Democracy, Media and Me closely aligns with the Australian Curriculum (Civics and Citizenship and HASS Learning areas) for years 5, 6, 7 & 8.
This is an opportunity for students unable to travel to Canberra to experience the history of Old Parliament House and learn about democracy through an interactive and highly engaging experience.
