Supervision and behaviour

The Shrine was designed to be a place of solace and quiet reflection for all who visit. We rely upon teachers and parent helpers to supervise students and to ensure appropriate standards of behaviour. These include:

  • staying together in your designated group
  • speaking quietly
  • listening respectfully to Education staff
  • refraining from touching displays
  • being considerate of other visitors sharing the Shrine's spaces

Important information

  • Please arrive ten minutes before the designated start time of your program.
  • Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor locations.
  • 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 to save time cloaking them inside.
  • No food or drink is permitted inside the Shrine. Please have lunch on the grassed areas outside the building.
  • No flash photography.
  • No pens or textas. Pencils permitted.
