Secondary school tours

Our school tours are designed to meet syllabus outcomes and enhance students’ understanding of nuclear science and technology.

All tours are available Monday to Friday for Years 7 to 12 classes. The cost per student is $12.50 and teachers are free.

We welcome schools back to visit us safely during COVID-19. With current capacity restrictions, we can accommodate groups of up to 80 visitors in total. We have videoconference options for schools that can't make it to ANSTO in person.

Teachers are requested to print enough copies of the relevant workbook for their class before their visit to ANSTO, as students will not be permitted to bring digital devices on-site.

Year 7 - 10 Introduction to Nuclear Science

If the student cohort is greater than 80, there will be a short presentation which will incorporate interactive demonstrations, followed by a short break before touring some of ANSTO's facilities on-site.

If the student cohort is less than 80, a short presentation will be followed by a series of hands-on activities. Please ensure that you bring printed copies of the workbook for the students to use while completing these activities. After a short break, the students will be taken on a site tour of some of ANSTO's facilities.
