Learning Resources

Our goal is to provide students and teachers with the tools they need to make the most of their visit to YAM.

We have a range of resources and education kits designed to enrich students’ understanding and appreciation of our exhibitions.

Our resources and education kits are closely aligned with the New South Wales syllabus and National K-6 and 7-12 curriculum, ensuring that students and teachers can easily incorporate their visit into their existing lesson plans.

In addition, we can create individual experiences tailored to specific syllabus or curriculum requirements to further support student learning.

These resources are available here on our website or contact us to learn more about how we can help enhance your visit to YAM.
