The Heritage in Schools Scheme
The Heritage in Schools scheme offers a panel of heritage specialists who will, at the request of a teacher, visit a primary school to work directly with the children. Specialists are listed in the Heritage in Schools Directory, which is updated annually and sent to all primary schools in the country. A booking form is included in the directory. The visit is part-funded by the school and the remaining fee plus expenses are funded by the
Heritage Council.
