Brochure
The
Enterprize Ship Trust provides a range of programs for primary and
secondary
school groups. The Enterprize is a superbly crafted timber replica of
the ship
that brought the first European settlers to Melbourne in 1835. It
offers
students the experience of sailing on an 1800s sailing vessel in 21st
Century
comfort and safety.
The
activity programs can be aligned with VELS guidelines
to suit your needs. We have standard programs which have been regularly
used
with other school groups, or we can consult with you to produce a
program that
is tailored to your specific requirements in a range of subjects
including
history and science and which can be adapted for all levels from
Primary
through to Year 12.
There
should also be an excellent education package in
your school library under reference number 994.51 INV, called
Investigating
Melbourne provided by the Melbourne Foundation Day Committee in 2002
which
includes a major section on the Enterprize and its part in the founding
of
Melbourne.
Some
of the programs that have been regularly used by
schools include:
Ship
Tours
This
is a non sailing program where students come on
board the ship whilst it is berthed at the jetty. Crew are available to
explain
the various parts of the ship and to demonstrate how the sails are
raised and
the lines coiled and made up and to answer questions about the history
of the
ship. A short history presentation may be possible depending on the
total
numbers.
Numbers:
Maximum of 150 children over one hour
Cost:
$3 per student with a minimum of $225.
Alternate
Sail/History Lesson
This
is one of our most popular programs where schools
can bring up to 80 students with the groups split into two. Whilst one
group
goes on the ship for a one hour sail, the other group comes to our
training
room for a discussion on the history of the founding of Melbourne. The
groups
then alternate. During the sailing the students are encouraged to help
the crew
hoist and set the sails and to steer the ship.
Numbers:
Generally 80 students noting that the maximum
group on the ship, including teachers, is 45.
Cost:
$1,000 for a two hour program.
Other
Programs
can be arranged to suit your specific needs. These can
include:
Team
building
For
smaller groups, up to 15 students, where the focus is
primarily on working together and actively helping to sail the ship.
These
trips would normally be of 3 to 4 hour duration.

Duke
of Edinburgh skills development
These
trips have been tailored to fit the schools' needs
with the most popular being a 3 day/2 night sail around the bay for a
maximum
of 10 (students & teachers). By the third day the students have
been
trained to handle most aspects of sailing the ship including the basics
of
navigation and are equipped to sail the ship, under crew supervision,
between
ports.

Teachers'
Information Sessions
Held
at our Docklands site, these afternoon sessions
outline our education programs with interactive discussions to best
tailor
Enterprize's historic, nautical and cultural aspects with your program.
One
hour in duration, (and weather permitting) they are followed up with a
one hour
sail aboard Melbourne's tall ship.
