National Out of School Hour Care Educators Day is the annual National day to celebrate and recognise the important role Educators play in the lives of children.
It is coordinated by the Network of Community Activities and member organisations of NOSHSA (The National Association for Out of School Hours Care in Australia).
2022 Theme
This year’s theme is OOSH Educators: Rising to every challenge.
2022 has already presented many challenges for Educators in our sector. It is our aim to raise awareness of the important role OOSH Educators play and why you matter; in your school and family communities, and with government and other decision-makers.
On Wednesday, July 27th let’s celebrate together by sharing your stories and the outstanding contribution you make to the lives of children.
