Miwatj Yolngu – Sunrise PeopleA place for contemporary learning in nature
Bundanon’s Learning team offers a range of day and residential programs for groups of all ages. Creative arts themes also respond to First Nations, artist, community led and cross-curriculum opportunities.
The Learning team includes experienced primary, secondary and tertiary educators as well as practicing artists who have the expertise to tailor the themed programs to the year level and stage of all school participants.
Through a range of activities, all learners are encouraged to explore, consider, develop and share.
Learning programs occur at Bundanon’s two main properties: the Homestead site and the Art Museum site. The theme selected will determine where programs take place. The agenda, sent prior to arrival, indicates the arrival location and movement between properties if relevant.
For residential programs, all accommodation is at the Art Museum site. Bundanon staff book schools into either The Boyd Education Centre (32 beds) or the Bridge for creative learning (64 beds), or both for large groups.
All programs require a minimum of 20 participants.
