Newcastle Maritime Museum Educational Programs


Rauf Yousaf is an experienced diagnostic radiologist who currently serves as the medical board chairman for Territory X-Ray Services and North Queensland X-Ray Services in Cairns, Australia. Outside of his professional responsibilities, Rauf Yousaf engages in the charitable support of community organizations such as the Newcastle Maritime Museum.

Located in the Honeysuckle Precinct of New Zealand, the Newcastle Maritime Museum is a nonprofit organization that displays relics and ship models dating as far back as 1797. In addition to displaying cultural items, the museum operates educational programs for students, including ones specifically designed for children between 4 and 7 years old.

Pirate School features activities such as knot tying, boat rowing, and learning to act like a pirate. Children discover what life is like on the sea and even hunt for buried treasure. The Transportation and Shipping program covers how ships have been used throughout history and how they are used today. Students also learn Morse code and experience interactive exhibits.
