SUMMARY:Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day
DESCRIPTION:Children’s Day is held annually on 4 August. It’s a national day dedicated to celebrating First Nations youngfullas. \nThe day is an initiative of SNAIIC – National Voice for our Children. The first Children’s Day was in 1988\, established against the backdrop of protests led by First Nations people and allies to mark the 200-year anniversary of British invasion. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe date August 4 was historically used to celebrate the birthdays of First Nations children who were taken from their families at a young age without knowing their birthday. \nRead more about this important day\, discover ideas and resources over at National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day Blog HERE.

SUMMARY:Book Week
DESCRIPTION:2025 Children’s Book Week – The Children’s Book Council of Australia \n\n\n\n\nChildren’s Book Week turns 80 in 2025\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChildren’s Book Week is The CBCA’s key highlight national event of the year. This year’s celebration will run from Saturday 16 to Saturday 23 August. \nThe 2025 theme is Book an Adventure! \nOur feature artist for the year\, Jess McGeachin\, has brilliantly captured this adventurous spirit in his artwork\, which features a whimsical map filled with imaginary characters. Jess’ illustration invites young readers to embark on fantastical journeys\, inspiring them to travel through the worlds that books open up. As an award-winning Australian picture book illustrator\, Jess’ work encourages children to imagine\, explore\, and create their own adventures. \n2025 is also a milestone year for us as we celebrate 80 years of Children’s Book Week! For 8 decades\, CBCA has been dedicated to inspiring young minds to journey through the countless worlds that books offer. Jess’ imaginative artwork reflects this mission perfectly\, encouraging children to set off on adventures through time\, lands\, and imagination. We look forward to continuing this mission for the next 80 years and beyond!

SUMMARY:Indigenous Literacy Day
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Literacy Day shines a spotlight on the importance of literacy in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Literacy is more than just the ability to read and write; it is a key to unlocking opportunities\, preserving languages\, and empowering future generations. For Indigenous Australians\, literacy is a bridge that connects the past\, present\, and future\, allowing us to carry forward the knowledge and stories of our ancestors. \n\n\nThe Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) works tirelessly to improve literacy rates in remote communities\, providing culturally relevant books and educational resources that reflect the languages and experiences of First Nations peoples. By supporting the ILF\, we can help ensure that every child has the opportunity to become a proud voice for their Country. \nLiteracy provides a fundamental step of building context\, comprehension and understanding\, whether it is written\, visual or auditory. For kids who miss that foundational step in their literacy journey\, it has a lifelong impact. \nFor more information the day\, ways to celebrate and resources visit a Blog HERE.
