G'Day Teachers:

How would you like to take your students to the Land Down Under without ever leaving Broward County? Well - with G'Day Mates Schools Program you can do just that. 

G'Day Mates is your students official passport to Australia!

G'day Mates Schools Day is a fun filled Australian Cultural and Educational experience for American school children featuring four amazing stations:

  • Parliament House: Visit with our Australian officials who introduce the land *Down Under* to the students and of course answer all and every question asked about Australia.

  • Dream Time Village: Learn about our indigenous aboriginals and their culture. Meet with one of Australia's Indigenous icons, David Hudson, who has so much to teach you about his culture.. and flies in specially from Cairns, in Queensland Australia.

  • Tuckerbox Stage:  Enjoy Australian folk songs, poetry and stories from the Australian Bush by a true *troubadour" and his young *Culprits", Paul Killingly is coming all the way from the Whitesundays-Australia. 

  • Sports Down Under:  Finish off with a quick game of Cricket or Australian football. Both games have been played for over 100 years in Australia in summer (cricket) and winter (Australian Football).
