For Schools: Mountain Goat Mountain An audio adventure in your classroom

Mountain Goat Mountain is an interactive and immersive audio narrative with a richly detailed soundscape that casts you and your students as both the actors and the audience.

Through 5 immersive episodes, that are framed by Drama cross-curricular learning opportunities, students can work together to uncover the secrets of the Mountain, and discover the hidden treasures in each other.

This activity is guided by the teacher in the classroom. Episodes are accessed online and played to students via your classroom speakers. It does not require an excursion to Arts Centre Melbourne.

About the story:

There is a place, a mysterious and magical place, called Mountain Goat Mountain.

It has been said that Mountain Goat Mountain is home to a creature, but no one is certain the creature exists! What is known for sure, is that Mountain Goat Mountain is a mountain layered with caves, rainforests, and rivers which are filled with spectacular fireflies, darting geckos and cheeky moray eels, making the adventure to find the creature thrilling and totally unexpected!

How it works:

Once a school has purchased Mountain Goat Mountain (including as a First Call Fund partner) it can be accessed by all Prep – Year 2 students at your school throughout Terms 1 and 2, 2024. After payment has been made, schools will receive an exclusive password and instructions to access the online program.

Mountain Goat Mountain uses simple technology to bring the magic of the theatre into the classroom. As a self-guided program, teachers may choose how deeply to embed Mountain Goat Mountain into their curriculum. For example, students will be asked to draw a monster, build a cave and cross a river! These student artworks can be as simple or as spectacular as you choose!

Ideal for new and experienced junior primary teachers, it has been designed to enhance and complement what you are already doing in the classroom.
