This term in History, Year Six will continue to study Australia As A Nation (Government). In this unit, students will learn that Australia is a representative democracy in which all Australians over 18 years old vote for people to represent them and make decisions on their behalf. They will also explore the three levels of government in Australia, and how we vote to elect representatives to each of these levels: federal, state or territory and local.  

This unit of work links perfectly with the current Government Election in May, so we encourage political conversations at home.
