This page lists the workshops IRL Hub is currently offering. You can filter the list by any of the columns. These descriptions give an outline of each workshop and match their plans to learning outcomes in the Australian, Victorian, and New South Wales curricula.

The majority of the IRL Hub team is based in Melbourne so during August, we’re offering our Workshops free of charge to Melbourne schools as a way of supporting teachers through the (again) rapidly changing restrictions and demand for remote learning. We’re also very proud of what we’ve developed and what to share these Workshops with teachers and students.

If you have a request for a specific workshop, we are constantly developing new ideas and welcome direct requests or feedback. Fill out the enquiry form, or send an email to enquiries@irlhub.com.au.

Book places for workshops

IRL Hub is currently offering free places for school bookings during August. Teachers are able to book directly via this booking site. If you would like to discuss anything workshop related before booking, please feel free to email Toby Sullivan or Carrie Hardie and we will call to discuss.
