ANZAC Day - From the Vault Apr 24, 2026

Show notes

This week on From The Vault, we’re marking ANZAC Day with a special replay of our Squiz Kids Shortcut to ANZAC Day.

It’s a story that begins on the beaches of Gallipoli in 1915, when Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed in one of the most significant campaigns of the First World War… and one that didn’t go to plan.

In this episode, we explore what happened on that day, why ANZAC Day became such an important moment in our history, and how the way we remember it has changed over time.

Listen carefully — there’s a S’Quiz at the end!

Your Shortcut to... The Titanic

This week, we’re pulling out a powerful piece of history from the Squiz Kids Vault — the story of the RMS Titanic, the most famous shipwreck in the world.

More than a century ago, in April 1912 — 114 years ago last week — the Titanic set sail on its very first journey across the Atlantic Ocean. It was the biggest, most luxurious ship ever built… and it was said to be unsinkable.

But just days into that journey, everything changed.
