This year, My Family Weekend is being held from 31 August to 3 September 2017. From next year, it will be celebrated with the Teachers’ Day school holiday at end August or early September.
Recognising the Role Employers Play
In support this national initiative, on 31 August, more than 90 organisations hosted family-friendly activities such as Bring Your Family to Work Day, arts and crafts for kids and educational workshops.
