Education and Schools Overview vw
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 Ephemera Aquarium, an artwork made by Townsville primary schools and local artists Cassie Roberts and Lisa Ashcroft, and we have Kaleidoscope created by students from Annandale Christian College, Heatley Secondary College, Townsville and North Queensland Homeschool Group, Townsville State High School, and Queensland Pathways State College with local artist Jo Stacey.

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 Inspector Clouseau 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 Interactive Sheet that has been created for secondary school aged students. Simply head to our website or click on the images to download each resource to print at home, then bring along when you visit Ephemera!
