Reading and writing helps people to connect with each other and enjoy more opportunities, which is core to our purpose. That’s why we’re making literacy a priority and helping to improve children’s access to books as well as reading and writing programs.
Through our initiatives outlined below, we aim to help children develop the essential skills they need to unlock better lifetime opportunities.
DeadlyScience
DeadlyScience
We've partnered with DeadlyScience, a not-for-profit Indigenous charity, to deliver STEM resources to First Nations schools and communities across Australia.
The Pen Pal Club
Pen pal letter writing is a creative and rewarding way for students to practise literacy and communication. Join our Pen Pal Club to get started, and use our lesson plans and sample templates for inspiration.
Stamps & collectables
Keen to get your students interested in stamp collecting? Follow our lesson plans, which allow students to design and produce their own stamps, start a collection and get to know different stamps from around the world.
DeadlyScience celebrates Australia's first scientists, First Nations people – and works to empower Indigenous students in schools today to discover science, technology, engineering and maths pathways through innovative programs.
Since our partnership began, we've supported DeadlyScience to deliver their largest shipment of LEGO to more than 400 schools and communities across Australia – and we're not stopping there.
