Back 2 School Day

Get your school involved in Back 2 School Day and raise money to ensure all Aussie kids have what they need to feel they belong at school.

Make a donation on Back 2 School Day to leave your school uniform at home for the day and fast forward to your future by dressing up in what you want to be when you get older. Or even better what you dreamed of being when you first started school – an astronaut, a rock star or maybe a superhero. Have your teachers step back in time to their school days. You might see some big hair and maybe a bad fitting uniform. How much would your principal pay to avoid dressing up? Find out more

Register your school now for Back 2 School Day

Or if you have another great idea to raise funds for The Smith Family,
let us know so that we can help support your event.

" I have big dreams for my future, because strangers took the time to care about kids less fortunate, because of circumstances out of their control."

Catherine, Learning for Life student.

How will your contribution help?

The money your school raises will make a real difference to the lives of students living in disadvantage. Did you know that:

  • $120 will provide a Learning for Life student with a mentor, who can provide inspiration and encouragement while they are studying at tertiary level, sometimes being the first in their family to reach this level of education.
  • $200 will provide a school essentials pack including new shoes, a uniform, stationery and money for a school excursion
  • $500 will provide a family with a refurbished computer for their home with internet access and computer training.

" With a new uniform, books and money to go on excursions, I finally felt that I fitted in; that I belonged."

William, Learning for Life student.

" I’m finding that I fit in with everyone else at high school and don’t feel left out like before when my mum couldn’t afford school excursions. I found that I have more friends. Thank you for making a big difference in my life."

Joe, Learning for Life student.
