Encouraging and inspiring young people Mapping the National Curriculum through Cricket Located halfway between Sydney and Canberra, the Bradman Centre is a perfect place to stopover. See our fantastic interactive displays, have a lesson on the revered Bradman Oval and/or enjoy a catered lunch. At this time in Australia’s history the need for values such as leadership, resilience, endurance, and integrity are more important than ever. These are the values by which Sir Donald Bradman lived his life and we have used them to underpin our educational programmes. Our vibrant team of educators have tied the primary sources located in the various galleries directly to the NSW & National Curriculums. Teachers can choose from the diverse programmes which cater to a variety of KLA outcomes. Pre and post visit activities are available. The fabulous amenities here at the Bradman Centre cater to children of all ages.

Research suggests that school students will be more prepared to engage with the primary objects on display if the excursion is integrated into a broader body of student learning at school. POST-ACTIVITIES The Bradman Centre also provides post-activities to be undertaken after the students visit. Information needs processing to become embedded for reuse. The aim of our post-activities is to unify the social experience of visiting the Bradman Centre with the observations of primary and secondary sources.
