Parliament of South Australia

Bring Civics and Citizenship learning to life with the Parliament of South Australia. 

Parliament House is the home of South Australia’s legislature – the primary law making body in South Australia. The South Australian Parliament consists of the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council, which provide a rich backdrop for discovering democracy and learning about how South Australia is governed. 

Guided tours, debate programs, viewing opportunities, digital programs and regional initiatives are available to encourage active citizenship and meaningful student learning. All programs are aligned with the Australian Curriculum. 

Depending on the year level, the student learning includes:

    • Levels of government
    • The separation of powers
    • Law making
    • The role of Parliament
    • The role of Members of Parliament
      elections
    • Interesting historical facts and conventions connected to the Parliament of South Australia 

Teacher professional learning is available year round to support educators with their Civics & Citizenship programming.
