Celebrating Education Week virtually
Education Week was held from 26-30 July 2021. Last year's theme celebrated Lifelong learners. View the Education Week web page for more information.
Education Week is coming up in Term 3, 2021. If you're not able to celebrate in person with your school community, why not try some exciting virtual alternatives?
Virtual school assemblies and performances
If you plan to host a school assembly or share a group performance, you can use livestreaming or pre-recording as virtual alternatives.
Sharing and showcasing student work
Education Week is a great opportunity to showcase the talents and achievements of students. You can share student work virtually by creating:
- Digital student portfolios
- A class (or group) digital showcase
- A virtual art exhibition.
There are a number of excellent, user-friendly tools that students and teachers can use to create these. Visit the
Showcasing student work page to learn more.
