Book Week

Book Week is a special time at Islington Public School, where we come together to celebrate a love of reading and storytelling. Throughout the week, students enjoy a range of engaging activities, including a much-loved costume parade and a vibrant book fair. These events help to spark imagination, promote literacy, and build a strong reading culture across our school community.

Harmony Day

Islington Public School has a rich multicultural history and proudly celebrates the diverse backgrounds of our students and families. We value inclusivity and belonging, and this is reflected in our everyday practices and whole-school events. Harmony Day in March is a key celebration, bringing our community together to share culture, promote respect, and strengthen unity through food, music, and meaningful connections.

NAIDOC

Each July, Islington Public School proudly celebrates NAIDOC Week, honouring the histories, cultures, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In partnership with families and community, we share culture through storytelling, art, dance, and meaningful experiences, reflecting our ongoing commitment to deepening cultural understanding and strengthening Aboriginal education.
