School resources for disasters
For teachers working with students and their families directly or indirectly affected by a bushfire or other natural disaster. We have collated resources that will help you answer these questions:
How might children be affected by bushfires and other disasters?
What can teachers and schools do?
What can parents do?
Can you help us identify resources used by school communities after natural disasters? (pdf 521kb)
We ask teachers, principals, school counsellors and others working in school communities to help us find out more about what works in schools after natural disasters, such as bushfires.
