National Literacy and Numeracy Week has begun, with this year's theme - Learning for Living.
The Week represents a collaborative approach by the Australian Government and the school community to highlight the importance of effective literacy and numeracy skills for all children and young people.
It gives schools the opportunity to get involved in a range of activities and to recognise locally the achievements of students and the work of teachers, parents and members of the community who support young people to develop stronger literacy and numeracy skills.
Schools across Australia are invited to participate in NLNW National Activities and local State and Territory Activities.
