Who are we?
Zart is a supplier of art and craft materials, stationery &amp; educational products Australia wide.
We also provide professional learning opportunities for educators and individuals. &nbsp;
At Zart, we believe the visual arts are vital to the cognitive and creative development of young people, and valuing educators and their role in this process is our priority.&nbsp;
Our workshops and events include all materials and resources you need, delivered online and in-person by our team of professional educators, experienced facilitators, and contemporary Australian artists to ensure our program remains effective and relevant.&nbsp;
So you can learn any time, anywhere.
&nbsp;
Why are we hosting this event?
Zart was thrilled and honoured to have been invited to speak at this event last year when it was hosted by Story Box Library. This year, the event needed a new host - and we jumped at the chance to be a part of this amazing collaboration again!
We also believe in linking artmaking to literature, giving teachers the platform to assist students to make meaning, express their thoughts and emotions, and present ideas and opinions about the stories being told and the world around them.
Zart supports art teachers, classroom teachers and librarians by fostering the love of Australian Literature and celebrating the rich link between art and literacy in our students.
&nbsp;
We believe that Story Box Library has started something wonderful here. We're inspired by the amazing work each of these groups do to support educators and young readers alike, and are proud and excited to be a part of this presentation with them.

About CBCA
The Children's Book Council of Australia; (CBCA) is a not for profit, volunteer run organisation which aims to engage the community with literature for young Australians.
The CBCA was founded in 1945 in a when Australian children&rsquo;s books were few, and Australian authors and illustrators were virtually unknown. The following year, 1946 the The Book of the Year Awards, an annual award to promote books of high literary and artistic quality was established. These awards are now the most influential and highly respected in Australia.
The CBCA is made up of state branches, that work to promote literature and literacy in their state. The branches each send a representative to the judging panel for the Book of the Year awards.
Members of the CBCA's National Board are either nominated by their state/territory branches or sit as independent directors.
In 2015, the CBCA celebrated 70 years of promoting and supporting the best of Australian literature for young people, and we look forward to celebrating our 80th in the coming years.
&nbsp;
About Children's Book Week &reg;
Each year, across Australia, the CBCA brings children and books together celebrating Children's Book Week &reg;. Throughout the year, the CBCA works in partnership with authors, illustrators, publishers, booksellers and other organisations in the children&rsquo;s book world to bring words, images and stories into the hearts and minds of children and adults.
With our 2024 Children's Book Week theme; Reading is Magic, we're celebrating reading stories and their amazing power to transport minds. We are encouraging kids to be curious about the wonders in our world. It is a positive and affirming message for our young people. The magic of reading also lies in its power of enticement; a good story provokes conversations.&nbsp;
Talking about the stories with others connects the reader with other readers.&nbsp;Wrapped around all of this are the "tricks" and skills of our amazing writers and illustrators, as they use all their powers of language and illustration to engage the reader in this world they are building.

About PETAA
We are a national, not-for-profit professional association supporting primary school educators in the teaching and learning of English and literacies across the curriculum.
PETAA sees teachers as experts who select and sequence content and learning activities in order to support learning that develops cumulatively over time. These sequences are initiated through teacher-directed explicit teaching of knowledge and skills, followed by guided practice that develops knowledge and skills so that students can operate independently. Throughout, teaching decisions are informed by on-going assessment of students&rsquo; progress.
We provide teachers at all stages of their careers with the knowledge and resources to enable them to make informed decisions to support their students&rsquo; learning.
