About School Resources

Welcome to School Resources and Excursions an online directory for schools and other education providers to source industry suppliers. Principals, teachers and administrative staff can all view the directory. To find suppliers you can search via categories that include excursions, camps, teaching resources and equipment, product suppliers and more. The directory is a result of a teacher's desire for a more time effective way to source and contact suppliers for excursions, camps and resources. The directory is a free resource to schools and available to all businesses that supply products and services to schools. www.schoolresources.com.au is continually growing and expanding with new listings.  If you would like to offer any suggestions on how it could better serve you as a school or teacher please email www.schoolresources.com.au

 Those businesses that choose to list have a choice of a basic listing through to a premium plus listing. Around a 1000 businesses are currently included and as we expand around Australia this amount will increase. Camps, excursion providers and school resource providers have all been keen to list and with options for banner advertising as well the directory provides an effective way to communicate with schools.

I am a teacher who has spent many hours playing phone chasey with suppliers trying to organise excursions for classes and the whole school, as well as book facilities and locate resources needed and so on.Teacher's time during the day is so limited. I decided there had to be a better way for teachers to access resource suppliers and contact numerous suppliers at once to compare prices and services for school resources, so I set up this website.
 
The curriculum coordinator no longer needs to keep an endless file of available suppliers of resources to schools and teachers can access the supplier they have heard about from others. Coordinators can read 'specials' emails once a month and forward them straight on to teachers via email.
 
Suppliers of school resources can feel confident that their business details are always available and a school customer is not lost because the mail opener at a school decided to bin the brochure. Imagine the savings in money spent on sending constant 'specials' flyers to schools.  
  
 I welcome feedback on this website and communications with you, please email service@schoolresources.com.au.
