Indigenous Literacy Day celebrates the power of First Nations stories, languages and knowledge - and the children who carry them forward.

The Song Room’s case study exploring Noongar Culture and arts learning shows just how transformative cultural storytelling can be for young learners. Creative cultural learning helps children connect to Country, express themselves and grow as storytellers building vocabulary, confidence, cultural pride and wellbeing literacy.

Today we celebrate the teaching artists, knowledge holders and children who carry these stories forward.

Arts‑rich learning doesn’t sit beside literacy and numeracy—it actively strengthens them.

When students act, draw, move, sing or make, they’re building the foundations of confident learners and problem‑solvers. Creative learning strengthens comprehension, sequencing, pattern recognition, spatial awareness, vocabulary building and flexible thinking. Music deepens rhythm, memory and mathematical patterning.

These processes help students connect ideas, express themselves and engage more deeply with reading, writing and numbers.

Arts learning strengthens the core skills behind confident readers and problem‑solvers.

Good luck to all the students performing in the Victorian Schools Spectacular tomorrow!
This year’s theme 'This Is Me' is such a powerful reminder of what arts learning gives young people: a space to express themselves and to shine.

To every student stepping on stage, every teacher guiding rehearsals, and every school supporting arts‑rich learning—enjoy the moment.

What a turnout for our Introduction to Ukulele for Busy Educators professional learning session! 🎶👏

A huge thank you to all the primary teachers who joined us for five hands-on hours of chords, strumming, practical classroom tips and plenty of music-making! 🎸

From first-time players to seasoned pros, it was fantastic to see so many educators building their confidence to bring more music and creativity into the classroom.

Armed with new skills and ready-to-use resources, we can’t wait to see them put it all in action at school! 💛

🎨 Celebrating Art for Peace

UNESCO’s 'Culture and Arts Education Week' may have wrapped, but the theme 'Art for Peace' continues to resonate. Around the world, young people shared artworks that explored empathy, diversity, hope and what peace looks like in their own communities. Their creativity shows just how powerfully arts learning helps students express hope, empathy and global citizenship.

Here’s to the learners, educators and schools who continue to use creativity as a force for understanding and positive change.

📚 When Words Step Off the Page!

There’s true magic in Children’s Book Week! When a child steps into a costume this week, reading turns into drama. They’re practising comprehension and deepening their connection to story by experiencing the text. Drama doesn't add to literacy—it actively strengthens it.

Here’s to the young storytellers, schools and educators who are helping books come alive this week.

This , we’re highlighting the power of the arts to build connection.

Music and the arts help students practise the small everyday actions that make a big difference. When young people create together - listening, sharing ideas, learning new skills and supporting one another - they build empathy, confidence and a real sense of inclusion.

Let’s keep creating safe, supportive spaces through the arts!
