Last week a student group from Fahan School visited Willow Court and used the podcasts on our website to inform themselves about the people history of Willow Court. The curriculum area “Introduction to Psychology and Sociology” was prepared and arranged by Fahan Teacher, Liana Hayes who was very resourceful and used the available open area of Willow Court and guidance from Haydn Pearce with his knowledge and passion for Colonial History.
While the Heritage Precinct undergoes restoration this tour was the third group in a couple of weeks to visit the site. Liana wrote: The podcasts worked really well on the iPads and the girls gained a lot of valuable information from them. This is a great way to learn about Willow Court’s people history, from an ex-employee and disability expert here in Tasmania. So successful was this audio tour Liana stated they would be: most definitely continuing this excursion to ‘Willow Court’ next year.

Please could you contact Liana. I was supposed to show them through, but on the passing of my mum, I wasn’t able to be there for her.I cant find her contact number so haven’t been able to apologise in person.
Thank you.
