Fundraise for students
Fundraising is a simple and fun way to help other students - and your efforts really do make a difference.
For over 95 years, students have been supporting other students through State Schools Relief. When you take part, you’re helping provide uniforms, shoes and school supplies so every student can feel ready to learn.
Fundraising ideas
Below are some simple and fun ideas your school can use to get started.
• AFL Grand Final Day

Fundraising promotional material
We’ve made it easy to promote your fundraiser with ready-made promotional materials for the above suggested events including:
• Posters

Have your own fundraising idea? That’s great. We’ve also created generic templates that you can customise to suit your unique event.
Lesson plans for teachers
When students understand why they are fundraising and who they are helping, they are more likely to get involved and feel proud of what they are doing. It helps build empathy, encourages kindness, and shows how students can support other students in need. The resources below have been created to help teachers easily explain who State Schools Relief is, what we do, and how their school community can make a real difference.
