What if your professional development could feel like a storybook weekend?
Where the conversations are big, the coffee is strong, and every session reminds you why you chose this work.
Welcome to Celebrate Reading Conference 2025 — a two-day conference for teachers, librarians, education students, and readers who believe in the quiet, transformative power of stories.
This is literacy learning with soul. A space to connect, reflect, and walk away with ideas you’ll want to use on Monday.
Professional learning with heart. A celebration of the stories that shape young minds.
This August, Celebrate Reading returns — more flexible, more inspiring, and filled with the voices shaping children’s and young adult literature today.
🌟 Build your own bookish adventure:
→ Pop in for a single session
→ Craft a full day of PL and inspiration
→ Immerse yourself in the full weekend experience
📝 Professional learning certificates available!
✨ Featuring an unforgettable lineup of storytellers and educators, including:
Sally Rippin (Australian Children’s Laureate) | Craig Silvey | Sofie Laguna | Cheryl Kickett-Tucker | Holden Sheppard | Briony Stewart | Shirley Marr | Tristan Bancks (virtual) and many more.
📖 Session themes include:
The right to read: inclusion and access in every classroom
Reaching reluctant readers through joy, story, and design
First Nations voices, cultural storytelling and representation
Visual storytelling, adaptation, and multi-literacies
Creative courage: writing, teaching and leading with heart
🎉 Meanwhile, on the ground floor…
The CBCA’s 80th Birthday Book Adventure turns the State Library into a living storybook — with family fun, illustrator duels, treasure hunts, and birthday cake with Sally Rippin!
Two floors. Two experiences. One shared love of stories.
Whether you're just starting your career or have decades behind you, Celebrate Reading is your invitation to be part of something meaningful: A creative community where learning is joyful, conversations are generous, and books are the bridge.
📚 Come as a teacher. Leave as a reader, writer, and changemaker.
