your stories in the classroom

There's no better teacher than life experience.

Being Australian offers educators an exciting, relevant and powerful new way to bring real life into classrooms throughout Australia and around the world.

The diagram shows how Being Australian dovetails with core subjects in Australian classrooms.

Real life through real people's eyes can deliver knowledge and wisdom for young people who are the future of the Australian community.

This is why Being Australian encourages you to share experiences that feel 'Australian'.

Your experiences, no matter how small, could transform a young person's outlook on life in extraordinary ways.
