KEY FOCUS AREAS
Schools Plus tackles the most pressing challenges in education across five key focus areas.
Learning Gaps
We give children the resources they need to build future-focused skills in literacy, numeracy and STEM, and positive learning behaviours to be lifelong learners.
Wellbeing
We enable children to experience positive and holistic wellbeing that allows them to engage in learning and improve their lives throughout school and beyond.
First Nations
We give First Nations children access to culturally inclusive education programs and interventions that help them to walk confidently and thrive in two worlds.
Rural, Regional & Remote
We provide children living in rural, regional and remote communities equitable access to resources that enable them to thrive alongside their urban peers.
Crisis
We provide children affected by crises with rapid support to meet their immediate needs, and long term support that builds resilience and reduces the impact of crises on their learning and wellbeing.
