National Families Week is an important celebration in Australia, dedicated to acknowledging the vital role that families play in our communities and to raising awareness of the issues that families face today. This year, from May 13 to 19, we are invited to reflect on the theme "Celebrating Family Diversity and Connections," a theme that resonates deeply in our increasingly multicultural and diverse society. Celebrating National Families Week can take many forms, all of which contribute to recognising and appreciating the diversity and complexity of family life in Australia. Here are some ideas for families: 📚 Family Storytelling Nights: Host an evening where family members share stories from different generations or cultural backgrounds. This fosters an understanding of family history and the diverse journeys that have shaped your family. 👨👩👦 Community Picnics or Gatherings: Organise or participate in community events that bring together families of all kinds. These can be great for networking, sharing experiences, and simply enjoying time together in a local park or community centre. 🎨 Art Projects: Engage in family-themed art projects that allow members to express what family means to them. This could be a collaborative mural, a video project, or a photo collage celebrating your family’s diversity #gowriensw #earlychildhood #earlychildhoodeducation #earlyeducation #preschool #childhood #teachers #educators #earlychildhoodeducator #earlychildhooddevelopment #play #nationalfamiliesweek #diversity #familydiversity #familyconections #family #celebratingdiversity

On this ANZAC Day, we remember and honour the brave men and women who served our nation with courage and selflessness. We pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives in the line of duty, and to those who returned home forever changed by their experiences. ANZAC Day is a time for us to reflect on the importance of freedom and peace, and to acknowledge the ongoing contributions of our Defence Force personnel. Lest we forget the sacrifice and service of our ANZACs, and the values they fought to defend. #LestWeForget #ANZACDay #RememberingOurANZACs
