NSW Department of Education and Training

The Civics and Citizenship Education program helps young Australians to become active and informed citizens by supporting civics and citizenship education in schools. In 2009, the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations provided a grant to the NSSW Department of Education and Training, the Catholic Education Commission NSW, and the NSW Association of Independent Schools to foster and document good practice models in teaching civics and citizenship education. This website promotes examples of unit/s of work in civics and citizenship education from schools throughout NSW. Congratulations to the schools who have shared their ideas and programs for others to use.

If your school has developed a unit of work which focuses on Civics and Citizenship Education that could be shared to other schools, please contact Brian Elliott, Chair, HSIE Cross Sector Committee at brian.elliott@det.nsw.edu.au
