School Events and Awareness Days
Welcome to the 2023 schools event calendar!
Awareness events are an awesome way to get kids, parents and educators involved in meaningful learning!

From Harmony Day to STEM day, you can use these resource to teach lessons that help kids build empathy and make change in their local community.
