Student Information

Are you up to the challenge of showing us what you know?

We want young Australians to show us what they know about:

Our Systems of Governance
Who makes the rules and how do they do it? Explore the people, processes, and founding documents that shape the way we live, work, and participate in Australian society.

The Law and Legal Systems
What is all this “law stuff “and what does it have to do with you? Dive into how laws are made, who enforces them, and how they impact everyday life as a young citizen.

The Fabric of Australia
What ties us together as a nation? Reflect on Australia’s shared values, diversity, institutions, and evolving identity, and how they form the foundations of our democracy and freedoms today.
