Public Education Week, previously known just as Education Week, is a statewide annual event held by the NSW Department of Education to celebrate NSW public education.
It is held the third week of Term 3 each year.
Public Education Week celebrates the achievements of local schools, their students, teachers and the value of public education to communities across NSW.
During Public Education Week, schools are encouraged to organise their own events and celebrations, inviting parents, carers and community participation.
Each year a theme is selected to help guide celebrations and key messages, which this year is ‘Proud to belong’.
Public Education Week is a time for everyone involved in education to feel “proud to belong”, sharing pride in being part of NSW public education and the achievements of students and staff alike.
