In a joint initiative Wandin Yallock Primary School (established 1870) and Mont De Lancey offer a program for primary age children that addresses VELS requirements in a fun-filled day in a unique heritage setting.
School groups of up to 100 children and staff experience ‘hands-on’ family and school life in the period 1870 to 1918.
A fun day at Mont De Lancey offers:
A great day in the country, yet quick and easy to reach from the city and suburbs.
An opportunity to take part in many hands on activities of the past and to see others – many of which may not be available elsewhere.
A chance to build confidence and self esteem for children, as they take part in fail proof activities with lots of encouragement from students, staff leaders and helpers.
