Summer’s Day is a warm coming-of-age story which follows 11-year old Summer as she gets her period for the first time. Our latest education resource supports Years 5-8 teachers in using this locally-produced short film in their classrooms. 

Every year on 26 May, Australians acknowledge the mistreatment of Aboriginal people, particularly those belonging to the Stolen Generations and their families. In the My Place episode ‘Laura’, one girl reflects on how policies of forced child removal affected her own family members. 

Being part of a national organisation, the ACTF Education team regularly partners with schools, subject associations and education departments across the country. Last week, our travels took us to north to sunny Queensland.

In ACTF Education's latest virtual learning event, Australian students spoke live with First Day writer / director, Julie Kalceff and lead actress, Evie MacDonald. Missed the webinar? You can now catch up online.

Teachers, are you looking for contemporary resources to incorporate in your school’s health education or puberty programs? Soon to be released, our Summer’s Day Teaching Toolkit will provide teachers with discussion starters and engaging learning tasks for students in Years 5-8.
