We Are Australians

What does it mean to be Australian?

Read Wiradjuri man Duncan Smith AO and Nicole Godwin's picture book, We Are Australians, and invite students to reflect on and celebrate who we are as Australians and citizens. Encourage students to share symbols which reflect our national identity and design their own equivalents to support a local identity.

 

Democracy in a Box is proudly supported by Tim Fairfax AC and Gina Fairfax AC.
