Universal school breakfast programs
Guarantee free breakfast at every primary school in low-income areas. Feed kids before they learn. Some states do this; make it universal.
Every school uses a single communication platform. One login, one notification stream. Stop the app sprawl. NSW tried a parent app — invest in making one work.
Uniform swap boards at every school
Every school has a rack where families drop off outgrown uniforms and take what they need. Free. Zero admin. Already happening informally — make it standard.
Automatic permission for recurring school activities
Instead of signing 47 permission slips a year, sign one blanket consent at enrollment for routine activities (library visits, sports carnivals, walking excursions within 1km). Only ask for special consent for genuinely unusual activities.
