We are currently working on a new online booking system which should be in place in mid 2010.

I would expect an option to book online. Also, there would need to be a reminder of which programme I was trying to book, rather than go back in my browser to find the title of the course. Also availability could be shown - like in hotel bookings.

Stewrod1 Our student activity resources are currently being uploaded to the website. All our education programs have program outlines and most programs have teacher notes on the site in the 'Choose an education program' section so your student teachers should be able to judge whether the program is suitable for them from those.

How can I find out what resources are available which are suitable for my students who are Primary teachers about to graduate & enter the NSW teaching service? Could I visit the Museum in the October school holidays & perhaps talk to the Education officers?
