Leave a legacy of lessons that last 

Every child in Australia deserves the chance to learn, grow and thrive. Yet too many students miss out — not because of their potential, but because of circumstances beyond their control. That’s the problem we’re working to solve. 

Our Opportunity to Thrive campaign has a bold goal: supporting 150,000 students every year to succeed at school and in life. 

You can play a defining role in that future. 

Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the most powerful ways to ensure children in disadvantaged communities unlock their true potential, not only today, but for generations to come. 

Your legacy can help shape a fairer education system, where every lesson learned and every opportunity gained carries your impact forward. 

Let your commitment to education live on and help every child thrive.

Leave a gift in your Will

Join a community of people like David 

David Friedlander, Chair of Schools Plus and King & Wood Mallesons, is a long-time supporter of both education and philanthropy. For him, it’s about fairness, real-world impact and a deep commitment to education. 

“For me, supporting Schools Plus is simple, every child deserves a fair shot, no matter their circumstances. That’s why I am committed to this work personally and why I have even chosen to leave a gift in my Will, because the difference we can make for future generations matters.” 

Just like David, your gift can help create a legacy of lessons that last a lifetime. Every legacy begins with a conversation. If you are considering leaving a gift in your Will, we would love to talk with you.

Not at all. Every gift makes a difference, even a small portion of your estate can help support more students and teachers. 

Can I change my Will later? 
Yes. You can update your Will at any time. A solicitor can help you make a simple addition called a Codicil, or draft a new Will if your circumstances change. 

I have already made a Will, can I still include Schools Plus? 
Yes. A solicitor can help you add a Codicil (a simple amendment) to your existing Will. We recommend always seeking legal advice when making any changes.
