Book a free school visit within the Metropolitan Melbourne area. 

If your school is within 50 kilometers of Parliament House, we can visit your classroom to run our interactive role-play.

During this 75-minute session, students actively engage in the law-making process by assuming roles such as Speaker, Clerk, Serjeant-at-Arms, Premier, Leader of the Opposition, and other members of Parliament.

We offer role-plays for students in grades 5/6 and VCE Legal Studies. To learn more about the role-plays we offer, visit our role-play page.


Our role-play sessions have been designed to align with the Victorian curriculum.
