A partnership for every school
Transform your school’s culture by partnering with Real Schools to implement Restorative Practices
Every school has its challenges. We believe that the best way to address these challenges is to get your school culture right. If we do that, everything gets better – for your students, your teachers, your community and your leaders.
What is a Real Schools partnership?
At Real Schools we reject the notion that a one-day PL Day can change your school’s culture. So, do us a favour and don’t ask for that … we’ll just say “No!”
A Real Schools partnership is just that – a true partnership between us and your school.
We’ll work with you over a three-year journey to drive positive change. We’ll help you build a culture that is strong, relational, and built on trust.
In practical terms, this means, this time, the changes are going to stick.
We offer four tiers of partnership, starting at less than $10,000 a year.
A Real Schools partnership includes unlimited support from an experienced Expert Facilitator across three years, along with:
- Whole school professional learning (in person or online)
- In-class support for teachers*
- Parent engagement sessions*
- 1:1 school leader mentoring
- 1:1 teacher coaching
- Unlimited email and phone support for school leaders
- Practical resources including readings/ videos/podcasts
- Measurement tools so we can track the impact of our partnership on all school stakeholders.
Why partner with us?
Your Real Schools partnership is an investment in your school’s future and will be a driving force for positive change.
You will join a community of hundreds of schools that have witnessed remarkable improvements in student behaviour, staff motivation, parental involvement and the entire effectiveness of the learning environment.
The impact of a Real Schools partnership on the teachers and leaders in your school will be profound, leaving them feeling more effective and less stressed.
After partnering with Real Schools, teachers and school leaders report significant improvement in student behaviour and effectiveness of teaching time, greater trust and a greater sense of connectedness.
Our partners
Founded in 2012, Real Schools now supports 14,000 teachers in more than 300 schools across Australia, directly impacting the wellbeing of over 150,000 students through our evidence-based program to drive positive cultural change.
Geography is no barrier – we work with schools all across Australia, from inner city Melbourne to Kalgoorlie and anywhere in between!
We also work across all systems including the government, independent and Catholic sectors, as well as special schools.
Unlimited support
A Real Schools Expert Facilitator will be appointed to your school for the entire three-year duration of your partnership.
And you can rest assured that your Expert Facilitator has ‘been there and done that’ because each one is a former school Principal.
Your leadership team and teachers will have unlimited access to your Expert Facilitator for the entire three years, because we want your partnership to work as much as you do.
Don’t just take our word for it!
