Do's and don'ts

• DO wear appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor locations during the tour.
• DO bring a hat. Students will be invited to remove sun hats in the Sanctuary as a mark of respect.
• Bags should be left on the bus if possible as this saves time in cloaking them inside the building.
• DO bring cut lunches and eat them on grassed areas, weather permitting.
• No flash photography.
• No using of pens or textas. Pencils are permitted.

Supervision and behaviour

We rely upon teachers and parent helpers to supervise students and to ensure appropriate standards of behaviour. These include:

• walking
• speaking quietly
• listening to other speakers
• refraining from touching displays
• and being considerate of other visitors
