With the end of the school year fast approaching, many teachers are seeking resources that help students process the transition to a new year level or school. ACTF content will help students learn about the new environments, relationships, routines and expectations of their next step in schooling.

In a special ACMI Education X ACTF event for Media Literacy Week, the creators and cast of Australian children's comedy series Hardball took part in a Q&A webinar for primary school students.

Our forthcoming education resource will support Year 3-6 teachers and students in addressing the Science curriculum in an engaging way.

Every year on 11 November, Australians remember those who died or suffered in wars and armed conflicts, and those who continue to serve our country today. The ACTF has free educational content for teachers who are exploring the meaning of this important day with students.

Participating students approached this year's My Place Competition theme of diverse histories in creative ways. Some students shared First Nations stories, some focussed on migrant groups that have shaped their communities, and others delved into family histories.
