This page will detail Education Packages available for Schools and Teachers to use. As well there will be a very special feature that can bring the world of astronomy straight into your own classroom!
The Countdown is on to one of the most exciting educational packages we have ever been able to offer!
We can now offer school groups again, the chance to be taught astronomy by the only astronomer in the region being trained in primary school teaching and with over ten years of actual astronomy educational teaching!!!!
School groups can book in for open air (no dome to block the night sky view!) night astronomy tours. These will use a modern computer guided telescope and incorporate our educationally recognized night sky tour.
We can also offer again our flat screen planetarium show. Call or email for details. In the past our planetarium show was regarded as the best astronomical planetarium show in the Central West. We are very pleased to be able to offer this service again to school groups.
Astronomy that actually is taught to the school curriculum needs!
For more information and available dates and times, please call or email. Teachers, note that we also have regular open viewing nights! Come out and trial the program before brining the class!
Also on offer, does your classroom have Skype? If you do we can arrange a question and answer session directly into your classroom!
