About the program
As part of Fantastical Sharks & Rays, students will first view the artistic description of Australia's threatened sharks and rays by young artists and their reinterpretation by leading Australian artists in the gallery. Next, in a session led by a First Nations or Pasifika artist educator, students will create their own artworks through explicit teaching of art-related skills. First Nations and/or Pasifika stories and their deep connections to sharks, rays and Sea Country will be shared with the group.
This 75 minute art, science and First Nations program includes a 30 minute self-led tour through the gallery and a 45 minute educator-led practical session.
Differentiated for students in Early Stage 1 through to Stage 5, this limited time program is offered on Tuesday only and takes place within Burra, the Australian Museum's learning space.
Fantastical Sharks & Rays is presented in partnership with the Australian Marine Conservation Society and Human Society International.

A tax invoice based on Final Confirmation details will be issued prior to your visit or session.
Please advise at the time of booking if the tax invoice needs to be issued to a different contact name or email address. NSW Department of Education schools that use the EDConnect payment system should advise this at time of booking and provide a purchase order number if required.
Our payment terms are net 14 days. However, it is the AM’s strong preference that bookings be paid in full prior to the visit.
Adjustments on the day – the AM will adjust the invoice amount and you must pay the difference where:
i) Group numbers increase from Final Confirmation numbers; or
ii) the Group changes to a more expensive booking/ticket.
The adjusted invoice payment terms are net 14 days. To be clear, where numbers are less than Final Confirmation numbers, no deductions or refunds will be given.
