Book a free school visit within the Metropolitan Melbourne area. 

If your school is within a 50-kilometre radius of the Parliament House, we can come out to your school to run our role-play in your classroom.

Our interactive role-play allows students to experience the law-making process firsthand while they take on the roles of Speaker, Clerk, Serjeant-at-Arms, Premier, Leader of the Opposition and other members of Parliament. The role-play is conducted over 75 minutes in your classroom.

We currently offer role-plays for students in grades 5/6 and VCE Legal Studies, and for more information on the types of role-plays we offer, please visit our role-play page.

 

Our role-play sessions have been designed to align with the Victorian curriculum.
