Join families from schools across the Archdiocese to hear Joe Brumm, the creator of Bluey, discuss his success with the children's show Bluey and his perspective on developing and maintaining positive relationships with our children (and their school) and the important role parents play in their child's learning and development.

About the Speaker: JOE BRUMM

Joe Brumm is the creator of Bluey, an animated pre-school series that made Rolling Stone's top 100 sitcoms of all time.

It’s won numerous awards including 2 Logies, an Emmy, and a Bafta. Ostensibly written for 4-6 year olds, the show has reached beyond this demographic to include a passionate base of parents grandparents and 20 year olds, with and without children.

It counts among its fans the likes of Lin Manuel Miranda and Natalie Portman (both who have guest starred) Elijah Wood, Rose Byrne, Joel Edgerton and many more.

It's broken all ABC iview viewership records and was the 7th most streamed show (of any genre) in 2022. It was the most streamed show on Disney Plus.

Yet it was all created and made under the one roof in Brisbane by a crew made up mostly of recent graduates, with next to no consideration to change language or content for an international audience.

Joe worked as an animator for 20 years before starting Bluey.
