Education Resource Kits
Black Swan’s education resource kits are developed by Black Swan State Theatre Company’s education and community access manager. They are distributed free to teachers/lecturers who make a group student booking, as a supplementary resource to the performance.
The Education Resource Kits are a useful reference for teachers, lecturers and students and generally contain social, cultural and historical details, interviews with members of the creative team and a variety of English and Drama activities suitable for Middle to Upper Secondary level students. Each activity has been linked with learning areas and outcomes from the Curriculum Framework.
