This year's week runs from August 5 to 9, and the theme for 2019 is:
- Every student, every voice.
"It is a celebration of student empowerment and how the NSW public education system gives students the skills they need in order to have and express a voice during their own educational journey and as engaged global citizens."
On August 5, the 2019 launch will take place simultaneously for both urban and regional students, with the event occurring at both the St Mary's North Public School and Dubbo College, Senior Campus.
The plan is for this to be broadcast live, and the schedule will switch back and forth between the two schools. To find it go to the NSW Department of Education's channel on Youtube where a live stream is ready and waiting to go.
As part of an announcement in June, Department of Education secretary Mark Scott said "Through the theme of 'Every student, every voice', we aim to highlight how the NSW public education system gives students the skills they need in order to have and express a voice and how as a system we are committed to listening to student voices."
Additionally, "Student empowerment is at the heart of this process and reflects how a student's voice actively shapes their educational journey," he said.
