Anzac Day

Inside our Anzac Day Kitbag (left), you'll find everything you need to host a commemorative service this Anzac Day - the order of service for dawn and other times, flag protocols, sample speeches, poetry and lyrics to the National Anthem. Plus craft ideas to involve children. 

Search the Anzac portal for 'women' to find over 200 resources about Australian and New Zealand women's roles in and experiences of war.

National History Challenge: This is a research-based competition for primary and secondary students in Australia. It is run and organised by the History Teachers' Association of Australia (HTAA). 

The theme for 2022 is Causes and Consequences.

Students are encouraged to think about events in Australia's wartime history and consider their causes and consequences.

Entries close on 26 August 2022. 

ANZAC Day 2022: Belinda Cameron, Maclean HS

Our 2022 Anzac display - a lovely school family donated the three flags this year. We also have a glass display case with war realia that is over 100 years old. Kids have been so enthralled at seeing the old stuff and learning what it was like to be a digger. Each year, I borrow the mannequin from our local shopping centre each year and the old war items are either from the museum, the local RSL members or a staff member whose husband and father were in the war. I made the poppies that hang from the ceiling and researched information to put on the pin boards to go with the posters that I have acquired over the years. The display only takes me about an hour to put up as I have created it as a pack ready to go and I just add a few new things each year.
