📅✨ Download your FREE October Events and Awareness Day Calendar! ✨📅
 
October is a big month with so much happening – from Halloween fun, to important days like Day for Daniel and Diwali. It’s also a time filled with opportunities for educators to connect children’s learning with family and community celebrations.
 
This calendar is designed as a practical tool for educators – helping you highlight key events, plan meaningful experiences, and engage families in ways that suit your unique community. Remember, you don’t need to celebrate everything on the list. Focus on what is most relevant and meaningful to your children, families, and local area.
 
✔ Available in A3 and A4 wall versions, plus an A4 list version.
✔ Includes links to Learning Outcomes and the National Quality Standard.
✔ Dedicated space for families to contribute ideas and share how they’d like to get involved.
✔ Room for you to add your own local or centre-based events.
 
👉 This calendar supports Quality Area 1 (Educational Program and Practice) and Quality Area 6 (Collaborative Partnerships with Families and Communities), helping educators plan meaningful experiences that connect to the EYLF V2.0 outcomes and their community context.
