Based in Canberra, the National Centre for Australian Children’s Literature (NCACL) is a comprehensive collection of resources about Australian authors, illustrators, publishers and their creative works. Leonie Norrington’s books have been a recent focus.

New to the ACTF Shop, horror-comedy series Crazy Fun Park balances childish pranks and gross-out scenes with a sensitive exploration of themes including grief, adolescence and friendship.

In Kangaroo Beach, four young animal friends spend an action-packed summer training as junior cadets with their lifeguard heroes. Recently endorsed by Surf Life Saving Australia, our teaching resource forefronts the water safety messages in the series.

These free resources address primary and secondary content across many learning areas, general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities in the revised Australian Curriculum.

With the new school year just around the corner, meet our team and learn about some of the key events and resources we have planned for the year.
