The Fabric of Australia

Let’s Build a More Informed Australia.
It Starts with Civics!
The fabric of Australia is woven from our values, diversity, governance, and history. These threads come together through the people, laws, and institutions that shape our nation.
The Informed Fabric of Australia competition invites Years 7–10 students to explore these foundations and understand how civics protects our democracy and freedoms.
Through this competition, your class will have an opportunity to create a unique deck of ‘Fabric of Australia’ playing cards. They might even win on their own!
With ready-to-use resources aligned to the national curriculum, students build critical thinking skills and create projects that speak to their peers.
Help your students become informed, active citizens.
Get involved today!
