Life happens every day, so remember to check in with those around you and ask "R U OK?" regularly.

It might be a quick text, a chat at lunch, on the walk to school or work - your words can prevent the small things from becoming big things.

You don't have to know all the answers. Just being there, listening, and showing you care can make all the difference.

Every day around this state, foster carers are providing care and support to children and young people. They are ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

To all foster carers, including emergency carers, respite carers, short-term carers, long-term carers and therapeutic carers.

Thank you. 🙏

Your commitment to helping children and young people on their journey is inspiring and making a genuine difference.

Today is International Literacy Day! 📖

Literacy is about more than just reading. Literacy skills give children and young people the confidence to learn, connect with the world and be successful.

We are committed to improving literacy outcomes for all Tasmanians.

Thank you to the educators, families and community organisations who all support a lifelong love of reading and learning ❤️

National Child Protection Week (6-12 September) is an opportunity to reflect on how we can all contribute to safer, stronger communities for children and families.

The theme for Child Protection Week "Every conversation matters: shifting conversation to action," encourages us to move beyond awareness and take meaningful steps that support the safety, wellbeing and future of every child.

Every action, no matter how small, can make a difference.

Over the past week, our schools and libraries got out their 'Colours of Courage' for their Wear It Purple Day celebrations 💜✨

They showed that everyone is welcome and belongs, and stood proudly with LGBTQIA+ young people 🌈

Check out some snaps of the fun below!

That’s a wrap on this year’s Premier’s Reading Challenge 📚

We hope our students reached their goals, challenged themselves and are inspired to keep reading something every day!

This year, over 28,000 students took part, and the most popular authors read were David Williams and Alice Oseman.

Well done to all the students, teachers and schools who participated. We can’t wait to do it all again next year 🙌
