Our Melbourne Cup Carnival Resources for Schools website provides you with information and activities for all Australian schools to commemorate the 150th Melbourne Cup and the contribution it has made to Australian life, culture, history and heritage.

This website is designed for students and teachers and provides historical information, facts and investigations exploring the history of racing in Australia and the Melbourne Cup in particular.

• Fast facts and Think about bubbles are presented throughout the site to promote investigation and further discovery.
• The For teachers section presents a range of teaching and learning units designed to promote in-depth inquiry and provide ideas for integrating historical content across Years 4-9.

The site also provides a gallery of historical images, video and audio.
