State Schools' Relief wishes to extend our condolences to the children and many families that have been affected by the bushfires we are currently experiencing.

Since 1930 our mission has been to support children and families experiencing hardship of any nature and we would like to reiterate that SSR will continue to extend support to all those that have lost their homes, and livelihoods, as a result of the fires in Victoria.

Over the coming weeks we will be working closely with all Victorian state schools that have been affected to deliver the tangible support required for the beginning of the 2020 school year.
