After a year of inspiring young minds, supporting learning in all its forms, and bringing creativity into WA schools, it’s time to pause, reflect, and celebrate all you’ve achieved — while picking up some practical ideas along the way.

The Literature Centre warmly invites you to our End-of-Year Educator Sundowner — a relaxed, cosy, and inclusive gathering for:

English, Arts & Media Teachers (all levels)

Pre-Service Teachers & Teaching Graduates

Librarians & Support Staff

Teaching Assistants & Educators

🥂 Sip, Share & Connect
Enjoy drinks, light refreshments, and conversation with fellow educators. Share stories from your year, celebrate your achievements, and connect with colleagues across roles and schools.

📚Professional Learning, Made Fun
Engage in light, interactive activities that show how students’ personal, social, and cultural backgrounds enrich meaning-making and engagement — whether in classrooms, libraries, or other learning spaces. Discover how literature and storytelling support learning, wellbeing, and creativity.

🛠️Practical Tools for All Roles
Take home ready-to-use resource packs and sample units of work linked to the general capabilities of Ethical Understanding and Critical & Creative Thinking. Use these ideas to spark discussion, boost engagement, and support wellbeing across a variety of learning environments.

💡Wellbeing in Action
Learn how healthy habits underpin confidence, resilience, and creativity, and explore practical ways to embed Healthway’s Go for 2 & 5 and Crunch & Sip initiatives in diverse educational settings.

🌎Big-Picture Connections
See how these approaches connect to national priorities, including the Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration, highlighting how fostering wellbeing through literacy contributes to lifelong learning, confidence, and creativity.
