	Australia Day facts

	Did you know that 26 January has only been called Australia Day by all states and territories since 1935, and that it wasn’t a nationwide public holiday until 1994? Primary and middle-years teachers can find plenty more facts about Australia as well as lesson and activity sheets linked to the curriculum on For Teachers for Students. Or you could take a look at the Australia Day website for more education resources.		Northfield Primary School students forming a map of Australia, Harmony Day 2015
	Australia Day is when many local councils hold their Citizenship and Australia Day Award Ceremonies. Visit your council website to see what’s happening in your area or you could just go to the T20 International Australia vs India match at Adelaide Oval….
