Education resources
We support schools and the wider community to learn more about and commemorate Australia’s wartime history.
Back to topResources for teachers and students
If you are a school teacher or student, you can access a wide range of free resources through the Anzac Portal, including education resources, curriculum units and history publications.
DVA also runs and supports several competitions to encourage students to develop an understanding of Australia's wartime history, including the Anzac Day Schools Awards, the National History Challenge and the Simpson Prize Competition.
Back to topFunding opportunities
Funding is available through the Australian Government's Saluting Their Service commemorations program. This program aims to commemorate the service and sacrifice of Australia's service personnel who served in wars, conflicts and peace operations, and their families with grants of up to $150,000 available.
Examples of projects funded through this program include:
- erecting or restoring honour rolls that record the names of former students who have served in wars and conflicts
- publishing books to record the wartime service of former students
- development of a documentary commemorating personnel who served in the Second World war.
