Community Education
Free rail education sessions for schools and communities
Metro’s Community Education Program connects with schools and communities across metropolitan Melbourne. We encourage positive and safe behaviour around trains and tracks and support all members of our community in learning how to navigate our network confidently.
Delivered by a team of engaging and knowledgeable educators, we offer a range of sessions delivered free to primary and secondary students and community groups.
Sessions are available Monday to Thursday, covering a range of topics. We can also customise our sessions to meet your group’s specific learning needs and requirements.
