We are very aware COVID-19 means uncertain and challenging times for those in The Smith Family community. Like all Australians, we are adapting daily to the information we have before us and making decisions as best we can.
We are currently following the advice of the Australian Government, the Chief Medical Officer and the World Health Organisation.
The children and families we support remain at the heart of everything we do.
We want to assure our Learning for Life families that we are committed to providing you with ongoing educational support through our Learning for Life program.
However, because of changes in the way schools are working, and to ensure the safety of our team members, families, volunteers and communities, we will need to make some changes to the way we work. When we do, we will let you know what these are.
Please note, any changes we make will not impact your Learning for Life Scholarship payment/s.
We encourage you to follow the advice of your State or Territory's Education Department regarding schools, your child’s attendance and continuity of learning.
We know that you will have many questions and we have done our best to answer them here. We also encourage you to visit this page regularly to keep up to date with how we are responding to this rapidly-changing situation.
