“Promote in all children a strong sense of who they are and their connectedness to others – a shared identity as Australians…” - Belonging, Being and Becoming, The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia, page 23. A strong sense of individual identity can be supported through activities that promote and advance collective identities; Australia Day is one of those days that acts as an important time for early childhood educators to embrace the local community and most importantly engage parents in the celebration of our share identity.
