- an enclosed space for groups to line up, settle and prepare to enter the Gallery
- reduced disruption for students, with a more direct route to the cloaking of bags and belongings
- a larger, more secure, contained space for cloaking of bags and belongings
- a more organised and efficient entry point, reducing delays to education programs
- dedicated Gallery education staff to assist with directions, program and exhibition information and the cloaking of bags and belongings
- a limited outdoor undercover area with seating, for sun and wet weather
- Indigenous Australian art as the first art encountered by any student entering the Gallery
- a visiting teacher ID sticker to facilitate the safety, security and duty of care for all schools visiting the Gallery
- an information sheet with a map and procedures for using the Education Entrance, mailed with each excursion booking confirmation and available here as a PDF.
