Chinese Museum Education Program

Our education program has been designed by teachers with a strong focus on curriculum and contemporary teaching methodologies. It has links with the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) across a range of subject areas including Humanities (History and Geography), LOTE (Chinese), The Arts and English.

It provides a variety of learning activities for student groups from Grade 1 to VCE and is particularly well-placed to assist teachers to tackle the challenges of the Asia Literacy Priority of the proposed National Curriculum.

Our comprehensive school tours are led by experienced guides and can be combined with various cultural workshops and demonstrations for a more complete cultural experience. Tours and workshops can be tailored to suit your class.

Topics covered in the program include:

• Early Australian history - Gold Rush of the 1850s

• Chinese festivals and customs

• Immigration and multiculturalism

• Chinese arts and crafts

• Chinese performing arts

• Literature and language

• Martial arts

2012 Education Program

The Chinese Museum has developed three distinct ways in which your school and students can engage with Asia Literacy activities.

• Take an Excursion Program to the Chinese Museum in Melbourne’s Chinatown and choose from the many popular options, as many schools have done in past years.

• Have The Travelling Chinese Museum visit your school (if located within 30km of Melbourne CBD.) Save on time and transport costs and enjoy a cultural experience in your own school environment. You can complete a booking request form to make bookings easier.
