Live History offers a primary school performance of “Louisa’s Walk”. Lasting forty minutes, this is more interactive than the adult version, however, it still contains the arrest, conviction, transportation and imprisonment of Louisa.
There is plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion afterwards.
Primary school students will gain huge insight and understanding as this professional presentation brings history to life in a way that books cannot.
Live History can also adapt the adult version of Louisa’s Walk for secondary schools and colleges to suit your time schedule. Whatever the age of your students, contact us to discuss an appropriate performance of Louisa’s Walk. We can tailor time and content to your students’ level of appreciation.
Expose your students to this unique presentation as a way of not only expanding their understanding of history, but of theatre and the arts! Without exception, students at all levels of education gain from the Louisa’s Walk experience.
“The Old School”
This makes a terrific special event for School Anniversaries or Concerts! It is also ideal to incorporate in a unit on History. Live History Productions will come to your school and re-enact a 19th century classroom. Our unique presentation will give students the opportunity to experience school as it was back then. Students fully participate in the classroom activities and gain a memorable understanding of Old School life. They are encouraged to dress in the costume of the time and will meet “Mr Oldfield” (the Headmaster) and “Miss Thorne” (their teacher). The words of “God Save our Gracious Queen” and the old school bell, will ring out again! Memory verses, copy books … and did we mention the cane? Suggested only!!
Duration :Around thirty minutes.
Suitable For: Primary School students.

Thanks for a fantastic experience for our Grade Nine and Ten History group – they, and we, really enjoyed your performance. Strongly recommended!!!
To Judith and Chris,
Our school has been offering Tasmania as a destination, on alternate years, to our senior school students. Our visits have always been successful, due mostly to the historical sites and the activities that Tasmania offer. This year in March we returned with a group of 60. The staff are always interested in the history focus for our students, but we also want them to experience this in a memorable way. After finding the link to Louisa’s Walk on the internet, contact was made with Judith, so that we could arrange a time to fit into what was an already a busy schedule. Judith was flexible with times and willingly agreed adapt her performance to meet the needs of our students. The concentration and involvement of the students and staff during the walk was an indication of the success of the performance by Chris and Judith. One of staff members enjoyed his role of gaol guard far too much! When the students returned to school they requested walking Maths and English classes, just like Louisa’s Walk!
Thank you to Chris and Judith for their enthusiasm and dedication to the education of this next generation. I recommend Louisa’s Walk as a necessary item on the itinerary for all schools visiting Tasmania. A great way to learn!
