Click here We're excited to launch our new campaign, Building Great Australian Lives, which highlights the pivotal place of public schooling in Australian life and invites viewers to consider how public education has shaped their own life experiences. We invited three high-profile Australians - TV personality Craig Reucassel, Professor Larissa Behrendt and former High Court Judge Michael Kirby - to share their formative experiences in public schools, and to comment on how these laid the platform for later success. Three young public school students also feature in the campaign videos to show how the aspirations of the young generation can be achieved with a vibrant, inclusive and quality public education system. These stories take the form of short videos that will be published on social media over the coming weeks. We invite you all to share these videos far and wide and let's create a #ProudlyPublic movement. Stay tuned to our Facebook, website and Twitter for campaign updates. We would like to thank the NSW Department of Education and the Arts Unit for lining up the student talent and the filming location. We are grateful to all our sponsors and supporters who make our work possible. Please consider donating to the Public Education Foundation and help students reach their full potential. |
