The money raised from this appeal would allow us to run our bullying education program in schools based on need, not whether families can afford it.
Schools can nominate themselves to be a recipient of the program by emailingmarketing@interrelate.org.au. Interrelate will get in touch with nominated schools to identify those most in need based on set criteria.
