With the end of the school year fast approaching, many teachers are seeking resources that help students process the transition to a different year level or school. Programs including Little J and Big Cuz, Little Lunch, First Day and Mortified will help students to learn about the new environments, relationships, routines and expectations of their next step in schooling.

Linking to the Victorian Curriculum and drawing on the ACTF content and resources available in FUSE, participants will be introduced to the Little Lunch books, television series and free filmmaking app.

Every year on 11 November, Australians remember those who died or suffered in wars and armed conflicts. Teachers who are exploring the meaning of Remembrance Day with students might like to draw on My Place this year.

Entries close this Friday 09 November for the 2018 Little Lunch App Competition.
