The Sovereign Hill Museums Association is a dynamic group of museums comprising of the Sovereign Hill Outdoor Museum, the Gold Museum and Narmbool. Our purpose at Sovereign Hill and the Gold Museum is to inspire an understanding of the significance of the central Victorian gold rushes in Australia’s national story, and at Narmbool of the importance of the land, water and biodiversity in Australia’s future.
Sovereign Hill Education provides Victorian Curriculum aligned, tailored, high quality, wellresearched and engaging hands on education programs delivered to tens of thousands of students and teachers every term. The programs incorporate Education Officer-led sessions for students, professional development opportunities for teachers, and tailored learning programs for education partners in school, community and tertiary sectors.
The Sovereign Hill Costume School offers a two day-immersive experience for upper primary students in which children and teachers dress in historically accurate costumes and participate in a program, which highlights the vast differences between schooling on the 1850s Victorian goldfields and education today. Our teachers are trained to implement the two day program which is based on the 1850s Irish National School Curriculum.
While leading the program, teachers play the role of a Victorian-era headmaster or headmistress and support visiting students in maximising their learning. This teaching role requires you to be skilled in teaching, role play and managing student wellbeing and in effective communication with visiting teachers.
