Federation is a proud sponsor of Refugee Week 2025, which has the theme Finding Freedom: Diversity in Community. With this focus, the week is dedicated to emphasising the vital role community plays in all our lives, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, language, disability, identity and age.
Members are encouraged to plan activities that focus on the positive role our diverse public education communities play in our lives. Celebrate inclusivity and welcome all who seek refuge, so your school or TAFE college provides a platform for connection and a sense of belonging.
Make this Refugee Week a time to celebrate the contributions refugees make and showcase how diversity and unity make our public education communities stronger.
