Teachers, we know you love Australian stories. With this recently launched database, curated by the lovely team at the National Centre for Australian Children’s Literature, you can discover over 300 books by and about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to share with your students.

Over the past 18 months, the ACTF completed the digitisation of our rich library of children’s series and films, making all titles available to schools as digital downloads. When reviewing the most downloaded education titles over the past year, we found a surprising mix of older and new content.

Having read hundreds of submissions to the ‘Supporting Australian Stories’ review of our screen sector, ACTF CEO Jenny Buckland noted the considerable support shown by educators for local children’s content.

On Thursday 27 August, the ACTF will host a live Q&A webinar with Justine Flynn (creator of The Unlisted), and actors Miah Madden, Ved Rao, and Vrund Rao. What do you and your students want to know about this thrilling drama series?

Never miss a moment of your favourite Australian children’s television series. See what’s on free-to-air and pay TV this week.
