This Pack has been put together to help VoRTCS Tutors encourage their refugee family to begin integrating and understanding the colourful nature and history of Australia.

Australian Animals & Culture

Australian Animals - Fun Facts (incl. colour in activities for young learners)

This document includes interesting information about some of Australia's most famous national animals. Here the family will be able to see where the animals live, what the eat and why they are so special to Australia. VoRTCS have included some colour in activities for young learners so they can become comfortable with some of our cute (and not so cuddly) national wildlife.

Australia Animal Puzzles - Fun Learning

These puzzles aim at encouraging young learners to begin recognising full words and filling in sentences, while still making education fun and challenging.

 Australian Aboriginal Culture

Before the first settlers arrived in this country, one of the most unique and untouched cultural tribes lived in Australia - Aborigines. Their culture is admired worldwide, with some of the ancient artworks dating back to the oldest on record. Teaching newly settled families about Australia's first inhabitants, is an important and essential area of knowledge they will need to truely integrate and understand the beginning and growth of this amazing nation.

Australian Songs & Games

Australian Anthem and Ballads

These are the words and stories which exist in every Australian heart. The Australian Anthem and the included Ballads inspire pride in us all; to share them with your refugee family is one of the most Australian ways to welcome them into this magnificent country.
