Register now for the Postcards Around Australia Project.

Here's a fun way for your class to learn about the different parts of Australia.  Schools that register will be sent a list of participating schools and each school will be responsible for sending a postcard about their area to each school on the list. Maximum number of schools that will be accepted in each group is 50.

For the first exchange there will be a focus on symbols of Australia. Postcards selected should show a symbol that represents their state, capital city or local area. This exchange is highly recommended for schools who would like to use the postcard exchange for developing concepts from 'Discovering Democracy'.

For postcard ideas visit Symbols of Australia.

Closing date for registrations is Friday 27th September 2002.

Registrations are also open for the Postcards Around the Globe Project. This project is co-ordinated from a school in Melbourne, Australia. We encourage schools from other countries to be involved in this project. Postcards can be hand made, computer generated or purchased.

It is a great way for your students to learn about other countries. If you would like further information please email me.

Please nominate for this exchange whether you would like to participate in a regular mail or email exchange.

Closing date for registrations is Friday 27th September 2002.

Lists will be emailed to schools on Friday 11th October 2002.
