The proud sponsors of National Literacy and Numeracy Week 2012 are:
that’s life!, Australia’s third highest selling weekly magazine, has been bringing real life stories and puzzles to Australians for more than 18 years. The fact that our real life stories are told by the readers themselves makes us one of the country’s most trusted magazines.
As well as a pull-out and keep food section that’s packed with easy, nutritious meals and treats for the family, we have a pull-out puzzle section every week.
A year ago that’s life! introduced a special puzzle section just for kids – kiduzzles! It has very quickly become a favourite with the younger generation of puzzlers.
As well as the great fun and learning opportunities all our fabulous puzzles provide, there is also the chance to win a share of tens of thousands of dollars worth of cash and prizes every single week.
that’s life! is very proud to support National Literacy and Numeracy Week 2012.

Pilot Pen Australia is a firm believer in the importance of fostering creativity in children through activities such as creative writing, drawing and reading.
As a result, we are involved in several activities to support this. These include regional competitions such as the SMH 'Young & Younger Writer of the Year' which are based in NSW and ACT and the 'Little Aussie of the month' that awards students in WA, and sponsoring events like the 'Sydney Writers' Festival School Days program' and the Australian Government initiative 'National Literacy and Numeracy Week'.
Pilot Pen Australia has also started its own, national Creative Writing Scholarship that is open to student in year 5 and 6 across Australia. The Scholarship will be launched in May 2012, with the winners being announced during the National Literacy and Numeracy Week in September.
