A year-long independent study tracked the impact across primary and secondary schools. Measurable. Repeatable. Significant.
Every activity in the curriculum is tested in real classrooms first. If kids don't love it, it doesn't make the cut.
The School of Play gave our whole school a shared language. Our students now lead play sessions themselves; the culture shift has been remarkable and it happened faster than we ever expected.
What I love most is how practical it is. Every teacher can pick it up and run with it from day one. Our staff wellbeing improved, our students are more connected, and play is now part of who we are as a school.

Most schools start with a free trial unit, then move to a whole-school licence within a term. Full curriculum implementation typically spans 25–40 weeks per age group, but you set the pace.
Yes. The School of Play curriculum is mapped to 11 global education standards: Australian Curriculum (HPE v9), Victorian Curriculum (PSC + HPE), NSW PDHPE, Queensland (QCAA), Western Australia (SCSA), England (PSHE), IB PYP, IB MYP, USA (CASEL), New Zealand (HPE) and the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework.
Not to start. The curriculum includes video tutorials, success criteria and Family/Student/Facilitator Guides for every activity. For deeper PD, the Academy is a five-module certified pathway, VIT- and AITSL-aligned, with reflection tasks every step of the way.

Annual school licences start from $1,000/year for whole-school access. That covers the full curriculum, the Better Us Schools platform, family access and AITSL-aligned PD hours. See our pricing section above or contact us for a custom quote.
