After booking

• Please see our Venue and Safety Information Policy
• Please read and complete our COVID Safe Arrangements for Schools form
• 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 may be able to meet your local member! Once a booking has been made, an email will be sent to the electorate office, and the Member will attend if available.
• Choose students for the role play before you arrive for your program. On the day, students will be given pre-written scripts to read. Some suggestions to consider when selecting students 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.
• To stay up-to-date with education programs subscribe to our Teacher’s Newsletter.
