Sing This Land is a free educational song and classroom resource developed by the IPA Schools Program in collaboration with musician and songwriter Colin Lillie. Focused on belonging, shared identity, and gratitude for Australia’s story, it is designed to give students a moment of genuine connection – to their school, their community, and their country.
Australia is a nation shaped by migration, effort, and shared civic institutions. One of the strongest protective factors for young people is a sense of belonging, and Sing This Land gives teachers a simple, joyful way to build it.
