Subiaco Museum

Term 2, Wed 11 June - Fri 4 July 2025The Subiaco Museum offers a fun and interactive history program for Year Two Students which has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of the HAAS (History) Curriculum.Year Two students will learn about life in the past through hands-on olden day activities and games.Students get an opportunity to compare their daily lives with a young boy who lived in Subiaco 100 years ago. Step back in time and discover what life was like in the past through handling and using museum objects. Students will learn about how people lived, worked, travelled, shopped, communicated and spent their leisure time, and experience a lesson in the old school room.Through these hands-on activities students will discover how people's lives have changed as a result of technological developments.We are limited to 25 students (plus 1 teacher/adult per 6 students) in the museum at any one time. After the introduction, the class will be divided into two groups and complete two activities over the visit.At the end of the visit, school groups are welcome to take the museum's basket of old-fashioned games to use in the historical Rankin Gardens adjacent to the Museum. It is a delightful area for children to play or picnic.Check out the video below for a sneak peek at the Museum’s school program.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEgUBwsTFoQ
