CMIS Evaluation

Each year the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) produces resources for teachers to use in schools. The department is currently conducting a survey to ascertain what teachers think about the educational services and products. The survey runs until November 30th 2008 and participants in the survey will receive a free education product from the DVA after the closing date.

The latest resource from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Australian Women in War  was sent to schools in late May. This publication provides teachers and students with self-contained classroom-ready activities about the roles of Australian women in wars of the past 100+ years. The full publication, and individual chapters, is available as a PDF to download from the DVA website and includes a Teachers’ Introduction.

On the DVA website schools can also apply for small commemorative project grants through the Saluting their Service  program. The grants can be utilised for activities such as erecting or upgrading memorials in school grounds.
