QPAC

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations, both First Nations and non-First Nations peoples, towards creating a better Queensland.

This workshop is currently only on sale to schools and is designed to be experienced by schools as part of their attendance at Permission Granted to make the most of an excursion to QPAC.
