Ways you can help
Remove barriers.
Restore belonging.
Change lives.
Together, we help every student participate fully in school life with confidence and dignity.
Whether you shop, donate, partner, volunteer or share our story, your support removes the barriers that hold students back — creating real opportunity where it matters most.
Every action makes a difference. Every contribution helps a student feel included, supported and ready to learn.
Each year, thousands of Victorian government school students rely on State Schools Relief for the essentials they need to succeed.
In 2025 alone, we supported more than 68,000 students across 1,340 schools, providing over 267,000 essential items valued at $7.9 million (wholesale).
Help us continue this impact and ensure every student has the opportunity to belong and thrive.
Shop with purpose
Wear what matters.
