Schools Plus - Smart Giving - 2023

This Single Year Partnership opportunity is for short-term projects (over one year) that aim to improve outcomes for children and young people in specific subject areas or address specific challenges for targeted groups. These might be short-term focused but have significant impact within this timeframe.

Examples of successful Single-Year projects:

• Oral Indigenous language training for teachers, parents, and students to support students’ literacy.
• Using multi-tiered support systems to identify students at risk of anxiety or depression and targeted, evidence-based mental health interventions in the school setting.
• Staff training and development to embed trauma-informed practices in the classroom, manage emergent behaviour and create collaborative support plans for students.

Support includes:

• Up to $30,000 for a single school  or up to $60,000 for a cluster of schools (must be an existing cluster)
• 12 hours of coaching over the duration of the project (up to one year)
• Project Planning Tool to track the impact of the project

Eligible schools have an ICSEA (Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage) value below 1,000.
