💙 June – belonging, inclusion, environment, wellbeing and community
 
June brings a rich mix of awareness days, cultural reflection, environmental learning, health and wellbeing dates, and playful opportunities for early learning services. With Pride Month, National Burns Awareness Month, Mabo Day, World Environment Day, Refugee Week, Men’s Health Week, Deafblind Awareness Week and World Wellbeing Week, June offers many meaningful ways to support belonging, safety, inclusion, connection and care for the world around us.
 
This month’s calendar includes a thoughtful mix of Australian and international events — from Global Day of Parents, World Dinosaur Day, World Milk Day and Queensland Day, to World Oceans Day, International Day of Play, World Refugee Day, World Music Day, International Mud Day and International Asteroid Day. You do not need to recognise every date. Instead, choose the events that best reflect your children, families, local community and service philosophy. This calendar helps make planning more intentional while creating space for family voice, cultural responsiveness, safety reminders and meaningful community connections.
 
Available in A3 and A4 wall formats, plus an A4 list version, the calendar includes:
• Links to EYLF V2.0 Learning Outcomes
• Connections to the National Quality Standard
• Space for family ideas and contributions
• Room to add local events and service-specific celebrations
It is a helpful resource for strengthening Quality Area 1 – Educational Program and Practice and Quality Area 6 – Collaborative Partnerships with Families and Communities, while making learning visible in everyday planning.
