At The Story Bank, we believe in supporting our region’s educators to inspire the next generation. We’ve developed a suite of new educational programs for Early Years and Upper Primary educators which offer fun, engaging opportunities for collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. These programs are explicitly linked to the Australian National Curriculum requirements and deliver core curriculum concepts through hands-on learning experiences.

To help you plan your excursion, we’re offering free entry to educators – just show proof of employment in education to our visitor services team upon entry.
