Donate to The Smith Family’s Back to School Appeal today, and help give an Australian child the learning support they need to have a new start this school year. 

Right now, children across Australia are getting ready to head back to the classroom. Most students are ready and equipped for a new challenge, with access to everything they need to achieve their best. But many children living in poverty are about to start the school year without the essentials they need to keep up with their schoolwork. 

No child should miss out on the opportunity to fulfill their potential simply because poverty stands in their way. But thankfully there is a proven solution. The Smith Family believes that education is one of the most powerful agents of change, and their work with children and young people aims to overcome educational inequality caused by poverty. 

Your support for the Back to School Appeal can help a child in need access the financial, personal and practical support they require to overcome educational inequality, so they can thrive now and into their futures. 

A $25 donation can provide a library resource pack, so parents can help improve their child’s reading skills. 

Thank you for helping to provide children in need with out-of-school learning support as they go back to school this year, so they can achieve all they are capable of!
