New resources to help educate ahead of Anzac Day

Ex-service organisations, schools and community groups across Australia are now receiving the 2022 Anzac Day resource pack.

The pack is a resource to help all Australians learn more about the service of our defence forces ahead of Anzac Day on 25 April.

This year’s resource pack includes:

• two commemorative posters: one for Anzac Day, and one marking the 30th anniversary of the Australian peacekeeping mission to Somalia
• Stories of Indigenous Service, a companion text to DVA’s Indigenous Service School Resources kit, with more stories of the experiences of Indigenous men and women who served during the First and Second World Wars
• new online resources in the series Expressions, which helps students understand commemoration through art; and Great Debates, which examines the role of the Australian media in the Vietnam War
• flyers on the Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program, the Anzac Day Schools’ Awards, and important information on protecting the word ‘Anzac’, including seeking permission for its use where required.

More than 17,000 schools, ex-service organisations and community groups have been sent the Anzac Day packs, and are encouraged to make full use of these informative and interactive resources to help all those eager to gain a deeper appreciation of service for our country.

To download these free and creative resources, visit DVA’s Anzac Portal.
