Schools
The study of Australian history is a key part of Australian Humanities and Social Sciences curriculums in primary and secondary schools.
A number of existing resources have been developed by organisations for school students relating to World War I generally, and to the Gallipoli Campaign specifically.
These resources include a website developed for the Australian Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). The Visit Gallipoli website includes a number of resources suitable for student study of AE2. They include the following.
