Australian Holidays Teaching Resources
We've made teaching about Australian holidays easy with printable worksheets, digital activities, games and more teacher resources aligned with the Australian HASS curriculum (even version 9.0!).
This collection of resources has you covered from ANZAC Day to NAIDOC Week and everything in between. Explore the national holidays that shape the Australian cultural and historical landscape with students as part of their cross-curricular exploration of the roles they play both in Australian history and modern society.
In this collection you'll find help for teaching students about Australia Day and its impacts on First Nations peoples, as well as resources to help your students better understand why Sorry Day is marked every year in our country. You'll also find a full range of resources focused on ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day to ensure students come to appreciate those who have made significant sacrifice for country.
This collection has been designed to give teachers everything they need for lesson planning, including a range of resources that have undergone a careful review by the expert teachers on the Teach Starter team.
