Victorian’s invited to join in the celebrations for Education Week

Education Week, Victoria’s annual celebration of public education in Victoria, will be held from Sunday 14 to Saturday 20 May 2023.

 

The week is an opportunity for early childhood services to celebrate with their children and families, and to share what makes their service great.

 

This year’s theme, ‘Active Learners: Move, Make, Motivate’, focuses on some of the amazing ways children learn through physical activity and hands-on learning.

 

There are a number of ways in which services can celebrate Education Week in early childhood services, including:

 

• using regular communications with parents and carers to promote how the service uses physical activity and hands-on learning in early childhood education
• visiting the Education Week website to watch a video of Aunty Fay reading her book Birds in the Bush, which was part of this year’s Kinder Kit
• encouraging parents and carers to make use of the materials in this year’s Kinder Kits including seeds, story cubes and wild dough to see what the children produce or talk about
• communicating with families about the benefits of enrolling their children in three- and four-year-old kindergarten.
