Welcome to the Teachers' Lounge!

SchoolAid is a national schools-based philanthropy network empowering kids to help kids in crisis.  Our purpose is to promote a world where Australian children live the values of care and compassion and so develop a lifelong sense of moral and social responsibility.

We offer primary school teachers a full suite of learning and activity resources that readily promote the engagement of students in active philanthropy, as well as reinforcing the values-learning benefits associated with their students' activities.

We believe in the importance of values education and the direct benefit philanthropy has on Aussie kids through building a more compassionate, caring and solution focused outlook on life.

With the help of SchoolAid, you can:

• Help your students create fun, effective fundraising appeals;
• Teach them about their world by sharing stories of children living in different countries with different cultures;
• Create compassionate social citizens with a strong sense of philanthropy while operating within the existing values-based curriculum requirements;
• Allow your students to put their creativity, leadership, organisational skills and teamwork into practice while helping kids throughout the world and in their own backyards.

SchoolAid's website will provide you with tools, resources and advice to easily integrate your fundraising and community service activities plus values education requirements into existing class work and curriculum.
