Countdown to Education Week 2021
This year Ed Week will be held from 26 to 30 July 2021 celebrating the theme Lifelong learners.
NSW public schools will celebrate Education Week from 26 to 30 July 2021 with the theme Lifelong learners.
Education Week is an annual celebration of NSW public education and it’s your chance to celebrate the achievements of your school, students and learning community.
This year’s theme is ‘Lifelong learners’ and celebrates education as a lifelong journey from before a child enters an early childhood setting, progressing to primary and secondary school, and continuing their learning journey into adulthood; learning a trade, entering tertiary education, or the workforce.
Continuous learning is critical for success throughout life and everyone can be a lifelong learner.
This year’s celebrations will kick-off with a virtual live stream launch from 10am on Monday 26 July, with more events to follow.
Schools can enter the Ed Week video competition by creating a mini documentary that

From 2022, all NSW secondary schools will have access to the new Numeracy course in Stage 6. This course is proven to lift student engagement in mathematics and numeracy and contribute to their HSC.
The new course is being rolled out following evaluation of the pilot that was led by the Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation (CESE). The evaluation found an increase in participation and engagement with students of Stage 6 mathematics including Students enrolled in Vocational Education and Training courses, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander students and Students in rural and remote areas.
To support and drive awareness of the importance of mathematics in everyday life – a group of well-respected ambassadors and content creators will continue to share with
