Our note
The $50 is per session, not per student. There is no published session length or booking notice, so confirm both before you put it on the timetable.

What the children do

Distance learning session for Grade 6-9 students exploring the Castle through the lens of someone who interacted with the building during its history, with the same five character choices as the in-person version and a photo analysis activity. $50.00 per session.

Sit in the classroom for a slideshow and videos told from one historical character's point of view, do a photo analysis activity, then ask questions live over Zoom.

Good to know

Runs in your own classroom, so no travel or site logistics. Session length and lead time are not published.
