Education Week is an annual celebration of public education in Victoria, and this year it’s from Sunday 14 to Saturday 20 May 2023.

It’s an opportunity for early childhood services to celebrate with their children and families, and to share what makes your 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.

What services can do

There are many ways to celebrate Education Week in your early childhood service:

  • use your regular communications with parents and carers to promote how your service uses physical activity and hands-on learning in early childhood education.
  • visit 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
  • encourage 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.
  • communicate with families about the benefits of enrolling their children in 3- and 4-year-old kindergarten.
