Australian Museum (2026)

We're excited to announce that Bradfield Senior College will be collaborating with the Australian Museum (AM) for our Year 11 project in 2026.

The Project - now in its 12th year - will be a very special learning experience for Bradfield students, as we work in collaboration with Australia's first museum as in the lead-up to its 200th anniversary in 2027.

Join us for Year 11 in 2026 - we're looking for video editors, scientists, researchers, artists, writers, filmmakers, dancers, performers, animators, events management people that want to be part of this exciting creative project as students of Bradfield in 2026. Contact us, or book for our next Open Day!

Step Inside

Ideas are already flowing for a truly immersive experience for audiences on 28 May 2026 exploring the AM's mission to ignite wonder, inspire debate and drive change.

Bradfield will look at the AM's evolution across two centuries to be the dynamic leader in climate science and cultural understanding that it is today, and explore what the next 200 years holds for the AM.

Thankyou to Amanda, Richard, Fara, Narelle, Vanessa, Jacinta, Farley, Erica, and all the staff at Australian Museum for your support and collaboration to date.

Workplace Skills

The Australian Museum project is the practical application of the Certificate II in Workplace Skills, undertaken by all Year 11 students at Bradfield Senior College.

Delivered through our unique Friday project model and supported by a weekly two-hour lesson, the program offers a variety of practical, collaborative experiences. It also includes a 35-hour mandatory work placement, giving students the opportunity to apply the interpersonal and employability skills they’ve developed in real-world settings.

By the end of the course, students not only earn a nationally recognised qualification but also gain valuable workplace experience, confidence, and the tools to explore future career and study pathways. They’re equipped to seek employment, prepare professional documentation, and navigate the world beyond school.

While achieving the HSC remains our priority, we also believe in preparing students for life after school. Through this program, students learn about:

Education, training, and work pathways
Job-seeking strategies
Workplace communication and conflict resolution
Resume writing and interview preparation

The project is an award-winning educational experience. In 2024 Bradfield was awarded a national award by TAFE directors Australia: The Heart of Inclusion award in Innovative Teaching.

Bradfield teachers won the TAFE NSW Teaching Team of the Year award in 2023. In 2025, Bradfield is a finalist in the Australian Training awards School Pathways to VET category to be announced in December. Bradfield is also nominated for the NSW Premier’s award for delivering world class education and training.
