Australian Schools Plus, NSW

Thanks to our Crisis Appeal donors, in the past two months, Schools Plus was able to deliver over $500,000 of funding to 58 schools across Australia to help them address the most urgent needs arising from the recent sequential crises. However, a recent report by the Grattan Institute has called for $1bn of additional funding to help close the education gap already caused by disadvantage and now exacerbated by the recent pandemic. It says Australia’s most vulnerable students are likely to have lost a month of learning as a result of the lockdown.
Our Recovery Drive aims to raise money to help schools and students recover from the long-term impact of the horrific events of 2020. Your donation will be directed towards activities such as catch-up programs to address learning gaps, mental health initiatives for students and staff, and programs to re-engage students at risk of dropping out.
As Schools Plus’ CEO, Rosemary Conn points out: “Through our Crisis Appeal, we have supported 58 schools to make sure their students keep learning during the COVID-19 crisis. But it’s nowhere near enough.
“Our Recovery Drive now focuses on helping schools mitigate the long-term effect of these disasters on children’s learning. It is the most vulnerable children that will be most impacted, and we must do everything we can to help ensure they don’t fall further behind.”
Your donation will help provide the support required to ensure students in disadvantaged communities across Australia can recover from these setbacks and fulfil their potential. Thank you for giving.
