- 12. Learning in Schools Snapshots provides a platform to represent and support young peoples’ voices at the National Museum in actively shaping knowledge and representations of Australian communities. The project has links across the curriculum including social studies, visual arts, media and technology, and civics and citizenship. Students select and photograph parts of their community: local characters and home life, natural features or historical landmarks, and daily life in a rural community.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Museums are ideal collaborators in communicating to and through communities; each is a vital and unique microcosm of culture. Museums can play a role in supporting and celebrating with communities, as well as providing forums for expressing the diversity of stories, ways of life, values and meanings that exist in Australian communities. Central to building relationships with communities is a genuine exchange between museums and regional communities – a two-way engagement.
- In 2003 National Museum Education devised the Snapshots of Remote Communities project to enable students in remote Australia to explore and document their own communities and to facilitate their engagement with local, regional, and national audiences. Snapshots endeavours to be flexible enough to meet the needs of each school community and also provide skills and resources, enabling students to learn, grow and communicate the rich cultural diversity of their communities.
- Now in it’s eighth year, Snapshots has worked with over 40 schools in each state and territory enabling over 1,000 students in remote Australia to explore their communities and tell their stories.
- Now we will view some examples of students sharing their communities through photographs. I will read out the captions the students wrote for the photographs.
- “The names on the memorial cross are written to remember the people.” Understanding our past (Geranium SA)
- “This is Bruce our bus driver he is a great friend to our school. We all think he is great”. School; transport (Bloomsbury, Queensland)
- “ Ned and Ida having lunch, droving” Home and family; work (Marra Creek, NSW)
- “ Linda, Tannisha, Cheyenne and Ellie waiting for the weekly mail plane”. Transport, community (Laramba, NT)
- “Denise is my aunty. She runs the Post Office. She sorts out the mail, she goes out to get the mail from the mail plane and she also takes the mail out to the plane. The mail comes in three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday”. Work (Cape Barren Island, TAS)
- “Gunter delivering mail” White Cliffs, NSW
- “ At the Fire station” Community (Avoca, Tasmania)
- All of the community exhibitions were well attended by families and community members, revealing the strong sense of community in each of the towns and the support for the children. Many of the parents got involved with the exhibition openings. For example a parent at Bloomsbury State School volunteered to do all of the catering for the evening, making beautiful finger food. All of the parents from Oakenden State School brought a plate of food and drinks to share with each other. Eton North School held a BBQ that was cooked by two parents, and others brought salads and drinks to share with each other.
- Bloomsbury State School in Mackay region, Queensland. Bloomsbury is located about one hour north of Mackay, on the way to Townsville and Cairns. The theme of the work by the students was 'My Bloomsbury' and all of their photographs, paintings, lino prints, and installations of their favourite things in and around Bloomsbury. The exhibition was held in the Memorial Hall at Bloomsbury so that members of the community could come and view, and even purchase! some of the work on display.
- Queenscliff, southeast of Geelong in Victoria. Queenscliff is small school located on the Bellarine Peninsula, which has embraced the Reggio Emilia philosophy of teaching over the past two years. This philosophy of student directed learning was an ideal support for the Snapshots project and students’ investigations. Queenscliff Primary’s exhibition was on display in a local art gallery and the evening opening was a large community event. Students combined photographs, 2 and 3 dimensional visual arts, digital media and objects to showcase their perspective on the Queenscliff community. Approximately 60 people attended the exhibition launch.
