Australian of the Year Awards’ Alumni are cheering on primary school students recognised in Aussie of the Month, to help celebrate community contribution and active citizenship.
Considered the younger sibling to the Australian of the Year Awards, Aussie of the Month schools and students can now hear from inspiring Australians recognised in the Local Hero category, when the Aussie of the Month is announced at the school’s presentation assembly.
To make the opportunity accessible to all schools in Australia, in-person and virtual online visits are available.
Through online video messages, Local Hero Alumni such as Australian Age of Dinosaurs Natural History Museum co-founder, David Elliott; Turbans 4 Australia founder, Amar Singh; refugee advocate, Rosemary Kariuki; and TLC For Kids founder, Tim Conolan, are congratulating recipients and inspiring students to be active citizens.
Schools can also enquire about arranging an in-person visit, an exclusive opportunity for schools signed up to Aussie of the Month.
