P-12 Education Programs

The National Trust is Australia's largest community conservation organisation and offers a range of innovative learning experiences for people of any age. Each property has a diverse offering of programs that have been carefully designed to meet the Victorian Essential Learning Standards.

• Many of the staff are current and former teachers and provide a vital link between the students, learning and the property. Staff are able to offer tours to complement and develop the current curriculum on offer. Education resources are available to assist and prepare students before, during and after the visit to our properties.
• The education programs of the National Trust aim to promote an awareness of conservation issues. We also provide a safe and enjoyable environment in which to learn.
• The National Trust offers a diversity of educational programs across the state; contact individual properties listed on this web site. Bookings for student groups is essential.
