Free! Quality Teaching Resources for Schools
(schools only have to provide feedback and share your successes)



The Rabaul and Montevideo Maru Group of the Papua New Guinea Association of Australia (PNGAA) commenced Project 150 in Australian high schools just over 3 years ago.

During that time over 150 history teachers and high schools have been contacted in regards to the teaching materials and dvd, and they have attended the HTAA National Conferences in Sydney and Brisbane and intend to attend the HTAA National Conference in Canberra next year. The feedback from history teachers has been greatly appreciated. Also, the support of History Teachers' Associations throughout Australia.

Patrick is able to post school leaders, teachers and community partners copies of the teaching materials upon request (see 3rd attachment in this email), and next year it is intended to put this updated document on the Rabaul & Montevideo Maru Society's website with the 15 minute DVD, Some Came Home, as an embedded resource. www.memorial.org.au. This teaching document has been prepared by Karen McPherson, a member of the ACT HTA, and Patrick.

Please email Patrick for more information, and with feedback (formal or informal) at Patrick Bourke Rabaul and Montevideo Maru Education Committee PNGAA
