Our Impact
What We Provide
We supply school uniforms, hats, shoes, bags, stationery packs, plus more — and pay for school resource fees and other essential costs.
How it works
As soon as a family arrives at a shelter or other service provider, a case officer assesses what support the children need to get back to school and then lodges a request with Zephyr Education.
We know how important it is for these children to get back to school so we respond as soon as possible. DFV case workers appreciate this approach, as illustrated in this extract from the minutes of one shelter’s AGM:
We have formed a wonderful relationship with Zephyr Education who we cannot thank enough for all the support they have given our families and the speedy response in which they attend to all requests. They have provided school uniforms, text books, bags, lunch boxes and so much more all within a heartbeat. We can’t thank you enough for the help that you have provided to the women and children that we work with.
What We Provide
Children fleeing domestic and family violence often arrive at shelters without their school uniforms or school supplies. We boost their confidence by ensuring they start at their new school fully equipped.
School Uniforms
Complete uniforms including sports gear, shoes, and socks so children fit in from day one.
Books & Stationery
Age-appropriate textbooks, workbooks, and complete stationery packs for every year level.
Learning Devices
Laptops and iPads for students attending schools requiring them to bring their own device.
