School Events and Awareness Days
Welcome to the 2024 schools event calendar!
Awareness events are an awesome way to get kids, parents and educators involved in meaningful learning! We have aligned each awareness event or day with a package of free curriculum-aligned resources, aimed to get the whole school involved. From Harmony Day to STEM day, you can use these resources to teach lessons that help kids build empathy and make change in their local community.
Here’s to a great new year of learning, stay cool!
