Start planning your Australian Teacher Aide Week celebrations!

Australian Teacher Aide Appreciation Week is just around the corner, and now is the perfect time to start planning how you'll celebrate the incredible contribution your teacher aides make every day.

To help make the week extra special, we've created a range of free celebration resources that schools can download and use throughout Appreciation Week. Whether you're planning a simple thank you or a whole-school celebration, you'll find plenty of ideas to help recognise your teaching assistant team.

Capture your celebrations for a chance to win!

One of the highlights of Australian Teacher Aide Appreciation Week is our popular Teacher Aide Team Morning Tea Competition and we're giving you plenty of time to prepare an amazing entry!

The competition opens on Monday 7 September, so we encourage schools to capture their celebrations throughout Appreciation Week. Take photos, collect messages of appreciation, record special moments, and showcase the ways your school recognised your teacher aide team.

When the competition opens, simply submit your entry for the chance to win a special morning tea for your entire teacher aide team!

The strongest entries don't just show us how you celebrated your teacher aides during Appreciation Week, they also showcase how your school values and appreciates them throughout the year.

We love seeing schools where recognition isn't just a one-week event, but part of an ongoing culture of appreciation!

You don't need any fancy equipment; smartphone photos and/or video footage is perfectly fine.

Ensure you have permission to share any photos or videos before sending your entry to us. Send your photos or videos to [email protected] (for larger files use WeTransfer).

Coming during Appreciation Week...

As part of Australian Teacher Aide Appreciation Week, we'll once again be giving teacher aides a very special gift.

From 31 August to 4 September, we'll open one of our professional learning collections free each day, giving teacher aides across Australia the opportunity to experience ATA's Professional Development Library.
