Australia Post has come to the support of teachers helping them connect with students across the country via a new Education Hub.
Head of Consumer Marketing at Australia Post, Corrina Brazel said the Education Hub brought all of the Organisation’s curriculum-aligned resources together in one place.
“The educational resources were a popular way for teachers to help their students develop important skills and establish connections with other kids right around the country,” Ms Brazel said.
“Australia Post has always been about connecting people and, with our free, fun and engaging lesson plans, we create content designed specifically to help classrooms discover, learn and connect,” she said.
Ms Brazel said the Hub offered curriculum-aligned lesson plans and resources in literacy and letter writing; First Nations culture; stamps, coins and collectables; and Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics (STEAM).
She also encouraged teachers to help their students discover the joy of letter writing through Australia Post’s Pen Pal Club.
“We’ve offered the Pen Pal Club since 2019 and it’s a great way to kick off the school year to help teachers connect their students with others across Australia, especially this year when it’s never been more important,” Ms Brazel said.
“The Pen Pal Club is open year-round to any educator employed by a nationally recognised early learning centre, kindergarten or primary school in Australia and is free to join.”
Ms Brazel said teachers could register with the Pen Pal Club at any time and Australia Post would help connect them with other classrooms based on classroom size, location and age group.
