The students in Year Four at Fahan were
asked to define what they think made them feel they were
Australian. Within the class there are children from Korea,
Germany and England. The majority of children however, were born
in Hobart, Tasmania. Asking children of eight and nine years of
age to define the concept of citizenship of a country is not an
easy concept for this age group to comprehend, however their
thoughts are showing a beginning of how they view their place as
citizens of Australia What Makes me an Australian
It is hoped that the children from SNDP elementary school in
Malang will now define what they believe makes them feel citizens
of Indonesia.
What makes me an Australian
I am a Australian because I was born here, I speak English with an
Australian accent. When I go to other countries it doesn't feel
like home because they speak different languges or talk with a
different accent. It feels like home here in Australia with all
the gum trees.

What makes me Australian
To me I am diferent to other people (from other countries) because
I was born here, I eat Australian food and I speak Australian. My
mum was born in Germany so that means that she is not an
Australian. My dad and my sister were born in Australia just like
me.

Australia is the lucky country, because....
We enjoy wide open spaces and no pollution. Australia is also a
very tolerant society, which means we accept people from all
countries of the world. We enjoy a very mild climate but in the
north of Australia it gets very hot. We are also able to play a
large number of sports, there are a large variety of plants and
animals in Australia some found no where else in the world. In
Australia we have a great education system.

Prime Minister.
