Lessons, activity ideas and display resources to celebrate Australia's diverse society and landscape
Observed on 26 January every year, Australia Day officially marks the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of convict ships from Britain in 1788 and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip. These days, it's an opportunity to celebrate the country's diverse history, as well as welcoming new citizens into the community.
Here, we've collected a few Australia Day and Australian themed resources you could use with your students.
