After booking

• Please see our Excursion Risk Assessment.
• Inform the students their bags will be scanned (similar to an airport) when arriving at the NSW Parliament. Students should not bring sharp objects, scissors, compasses etc.
• To add to your experience, you can meet your local member! This should be organised through the Electorate Office. Please check our All Members List for their contact information.
• Choose students for the role play before you arrive for your program. Students will be given pre-written scripts to read. It will be helpful if students are ready to take on a role in the Chamber. Some suggestions could include:
  • Students who are fluent readers
  • Students who are happy to speak in front of their peers
  • Students from both classes if your excursion combines different classes.

In one tour group you will need 11 students to play;
