Fort
Lytton
Defenders of the Past TM
The history
of Fort Lytton covers Queensland, Australian and World history from the
1870’s to the 1960’s. This fully participatory
educational programme brings to life this ninety-year period of
time; making the various eras and events that shaped them comprehensible
to all students.
Students learn about the defenders of the past in a fictional drama. Through encounters with actors in-role, they may well find themselves becoming “defenders of the past” as they address the question: why is history important?
Defenders of the Past is a half-day participatory programme for students of all year levels. It provides professional actors working in-role and an exploration of the fortifications in Fort Lytton National Park.
