Aussie Kids, Being Proud
Posted in Being Aussie by Neroli Gilmour on April 12th, 2008 This term sees our students studying a unit entitled “Being Aussie, Being Proud.”
Australia can be identified in many ways, from our unique plant and animal life to special places and people. Some say we have no claim to this country as we are not the traditional owners. Others say we only have a criminal history and just come from convict stock. Others say we are a young country and have not had enough time to achieve anything special in the world. Our history is much greater than this.
But what makes our country unique in the world?
What really makes us Aussie and why should we be proud?
In this series the students identified the Civic Values of Australia and suggested ways our nation could achieve this.
