Archibald Prize Exhibition - Archie After School
St Thomas' Primary School has made a booking for each class to visit the Gippsland Gallery Archibald Prize Exhibition during October and November. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions regarding excursions/incursions in the school setting it does not look like we will be able to attend. If restrictions were to change there is a possibility that some classes may be able to attend as a school group, but at present, this is unlikely.
The Gippsland Gallery has come up with an excellent idea to offer children an opportunity to view the exhibition by booking directly through the Gallery. The School is not involved in the organisation or running of this program. This is not a school event.
However, you may like to take up this opportunity to consider booking your child into a FREE "Archie After School" session.
These sessions include a tour of the exhibition and an art workshop. The program is designed for 4-17 year olds and the sessions run Monday to Wednesday from 3:00, 3:30, 4:00 and 4:30 for one hour. Bookings are essential and each session is limited to 10 participants.

Bookings can be made through the Eventbrite app, looking at Gippsland Art Gallery and the events they have listed. Choose the time and date that suits you. Parents fill in a permission form for the Gallery along with medical information such as allergies. Children are dropped off to the session by parents.
