Education and Schools Overview

Townsville City Council is once again proud to offer schools in the region the opportunity to be involved with Ephemera programs. We have two fantastic Townsville City Galleries schools projects exhibiting in Ephemera this year. There is the Ephemera Billabong, an artwork made by Townsville primary schools and local artists Erin Ricardo and John Bradshaw, and the Ephemera Frog Symphony created by students from Pimlico State High School, William Ross State High School, Townsville Flexible Learning Centre, Thuringowa State High School, Heatley Secondary College – Special Education Program and local artist Cassie Robinson.

There is plenty to be involved with along The Strand too! Take a picture in our Canine Cut Out and Viewing Frames, and be sure to share your pictures with us online! We also have a fun treasure hunt with our mascot, Nelly the jelly, for all festival visitors to enjoy.

Educational resources have been developed for self-guided learning adventures along The Strand. We have an Activity Sheet that has been designed for primary school aged students, and an Education Kit that has been created for secondary school aged students. Simply head to our website to download each resource to print at home, or collect a FREE printed copy from our information booth at Strand Park!
