What Victorian teachers have said about the Programme . . . . “A thoroughly intriguing Power Point presentation supported by a great display and more importantly, primary sources. ... (Garry Stone) has learned what students are interested in and the questions they will ask.” Beverley Wende, St Leonard’s College, Patterson River “The lecture is very enjoyable. Students are keenly interested in the visual display and the commentary is informative, pitched at the students’ level and at times humorous... The display cases are well setup... (Garry’s) patience with the students is appreciated. Support material makes it very easy to prepare apprpriate workbook material; an absorbing day that could always go longer.” Linda Kiernan, Clonard College, Geelong. “I have found your travelling show an excellent reinforcement for students. They get to have someone else telling them some very interesting things in a very professional manner, and they listen. The show is both entertaining and educational and I have recommended your show once again to our SOSE coordinator for next year.” Dawn Hand, Bentleigh Secondary College “The students thoroughly enjoyed the Archaeo-Pro experience. It helped bring their studies to life. They especially enjoyed the slides of the mummies that we had studied in some detail.” Denise Toomey, Monteray Secondary College “Amusing, entertaining, and informative, filled with sick jokes and gruesome information to keep the kids interested throughout; inspires a million questions at the end of the presentation.” Julian Lewis, Pakenham Secondary College “Those who have seen Garry at work know that he is good value. His presentation is noted for its quirky humour, excellent slides and an ability to really connect with the boys. His exhibits include about twenty excellent models from the ancient world and an animated mummy of Ramesses III.” John Hewitt, Brighton Grammar School Teachers booking ARCHAEO-PRO incursions are given FREE CD ROMs of all the Models, Clipart, Virtual Museum, Colour photos, WorkSheets, and Games listed below. except the  How to Write Cuneiform booklet.
