Remembrance Day teaching resources help Australian primary teachers guide students through the significance of 11 November — the day Australia and nations around the world pause to remember those who have served and sacrificed in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, schools across Australia observe a minute of silence, and quality classroom resources help students understand the meaning behind this important commemoration.
