Resources for Teachers

If you would like support organising within your school community, want more information, want more ways to support the boycott, or want to get in touch with the broader community of educators organising and teaching for peace – reach out by emailing risingflood@protonmail.com

If you would like a Wage Peace organiser to come to your community or branch meeting to give a short presentation on the issue, please email risingflood@protonmail.com. Depending on your location, the presentation may have to happen over zoom, but we are happy to arrange this.

If you have a resource or useful link that you think should be included on this page – email risingflood@protonmail.com

Lesson Plans to Teach for Peace

Useful Links to Union Material

  • NSW Teacher’s Federation Executive Statement on Middle East Conflict
  • Australian Education Union’s “On Peace” resolution, condemning “the use of Australian schools by the Defence Department, in drawing secondary students into the government’s development of new industries focused on armament manufacture and industries associated with warfare.”
  • A statement on Palestine from Victorian teachers, school staff, and education affiliates, by Teachers and School Staff for Palestine VIC
  • Australian Education Union statement on the conflict in Israel and Palestine

Helpful Policy Precedents

Many state/territory Departments prohibit commercial/sponsorship arrangements between schools and weapons companies, making many if not all of the affected programs potentially in breach of policy in these jurisdictions.

  • QLD Sponsorship procedure
  • ACT Corporate Sponsorship Policy (see link to Sponsorship Procedure)
