Tell us why you are #ProudToBePublic!
In 2025 Public Education Day will be celebrated on Thursday 22nd May.
On this day we celebrate the dedicated principals, teachers and education support personnel who are making a significant difference in the lives of Australian children.
Public schools are at the heart of our communities, helping to level the playing field, overcome disadvantage and achieve excellence for all.
Show your public school pride by posting on your preferred social media platform with the hashtag #ProudToBePublic
We know that many people don't choose how they'll vote until they walk into a polling booth. Volunteering at a booth is our final opportunity to chat to people before they vote.
You can volunteer as much or as little time as you can spare.
It will all make a difference.
Please note: your details will be provided to the relevant state or territory branch of the Australian Education Union, who will be in contact to roster you for pre-poll/election day.

This campaign is powered by conversations.
Today, we're asking you to pick up the phone and chat to 5 friends, family members or colleagues about what's at stake for public schools at the next federal election.
Not sure what to say? We’ve got you covered with some talking points to help get the conversation started.
The election is an opportunity to vote for a better education for every child in public schools.
The Prime Minister has reached agreements with state and territory governments that will deliver guaranteed funding increases for public schools across the next decade.
That means more teachers, more one-on-one support for students who need extra help with literacy and numeracy and additional specialist support such as counsellors and speech pathologists.
We cannot risk children missing out on this vital support by electing the Coalition with its track record of cutting public school funding.
I urge you to use your vote to support full funding for public schools.

Keep an eye out for your kit which will be delivered to you by Friday 4th April.
At the upcoming federal election, we will be faced with a choice between a government that will increase funding for public schools or a Coalition with a track record of cutting funding for public schools.
The Albanese Government has signed agreements that guarantee funding increases for public schools over the next 10 years. Every public school and every student across Australia will benefit from this. The greater the needs of students at a school, the greater the investment.
We cannot risk the Coalition getting in and ripping up these agreements like they did last time they were in government.
In the lead up to election day, we will be out in the community delivering flyers to our neighbours.
We need your help to “Do Your Block” for public schools, teachers, support staff and students.
