Celebrating Public Education Week 2025: Ignite Your Potential

This week, 4–8 August, we proudly join in celebrating Public Education Week 2025, a time to recognise the incredible achievements of NSW public schools, teachers, and students. The theme this year, “Ignite your potential,” is a powerful reminder of the transformative role public education plays in shaping bright futures.

At the Harding Miller Education Foundation, we’re proud to support the mission of public education by providing life-changing scholarships to Year 8 girls who demonstrate academic excellence, face financial barriers and are highly motivated to succeed at school and pursue tertiary education. Like the schools our scholars attend, we believe in equity, opportunity, and the incredible potential of every student.

From early learning through to Year 12, this week we celebrate the strength, diversity, and resilience of our public education system — and the inspiring students who continue to thrive with the right support and encouragement.

Here’s to the teachers who inspire, the schools that nurture, and the students who are igniting their potential every day.
