This virtual session will unpack how Trop Jr can support creative learning across the curriculum, with a focus on short filmmaking, storytelling and student collaboration. Teachers will be guided through the range of classroom-ready resources available, including lesson ideas, student worksheets and assessment-aligned tools that support participation in the Trop Jr competition.

This clip collection introduces students to key ideas in civics and citizenship education, including democracy, diversity rights and responsibilities, and active participation in community life. Through engaging Australian children’s television content, students reflect, explore and create activities that build their understanding of what it means to be an active and informed member of their community. 

In this professional learning webinar, the ACTF Education team will introduce high-quality, curriculum-aligned resources that take students behind-the-scenes of Australian children’s screen content. These free resources support educators to explore the craft of storytelling in screen media and to inspire students to create and share their own stories with confidence.

This clip collection is designed to help students understand and practice respectful communication, focusing on concepts of consent, bodily autonomy and personal boundaries. Using clips from Australian children’s television content, students work through activities that build their awareness of how to ask for, give, and deny permission.
