Parliament Package

A comprehensive exploration into Australian government. Two incursions: Parliament Process and Parliament Experts.

Parliament Package is a fantastic option for fully immersing your students in Australian democracy: two incursions at a discounted price.

In Parliament Process, students learn the foundations of democracy. They participate in an interactive federal election voting role play and they engage in a House of Representatives debate to illustrate how bills become laws.

In Parliament Experts, students consolidate and extend their understanding of Australian democracy. They participate in a hands-on federal referendum vote and a Senate debate role play that examines the process of reviewing bills.

Follow-up resources and professional learning certificates are provided for all attending teachers.

Suitable for primary school students in Year 5 and Year 6. View curriculum links here.
