Huge IMPACT that goes both ways

The Good Friday Appeal Schools Challenge Powered by NAB, is more than a fundraising activity. It is a hands-on learning experience that encourages students to think creatively, collaborate effectively, build empathy and understand the positive impact they can have on their community through philanthropy and leadership, buliding career defining skills while driving transformative support for the Royal Children's Hospital and the ChIPs program

Exclusive Opportunities for Participating Schools:

Leadership Workshop & Hospital Tour
In February 2027, student leaders will be invited to attend an exclusive workshop at The Royal Children's Hospital, facilitated by NAB and the Good Friday Appeal. Students will learn how to develop a successful fundraising strategy, receive mentoring from Good Friday Appeal team members and experience a behind-the-scenes tour of one of the world's leading paediatric hospitals.

Why does your school need to register a fundraising page?

Registering takes less than five minutes and gives you your own personalised page to share with family, friends and your school community. Once you're set up, you can:

  • Personalise your story: Customise your page with photos, blog updates, and your school's unique fundraising plans

  • Share in a snap: Automatically generate a personal URL and custom QR code to easily share your page across social media, email, or printed flyers.

  • Accept secure online donations: Provide your community with a safe payment option that automatically issues receipts to donors.

  • Track live progress: Monitor your fundraising efforts in real time to see how close you are to reaching your goal.

  • Deposit cash: Easily deposit money raised from in-person cash events directly onto your digital page so all funds are in one place.

  • Rally your team: Inspire classmates, families, and friends to get involved and boost your school’s grand total.

Every dollar raised helps support kids, giving young people living with chronic illness the chance to connect, build friendships and build confidence.

 

Supporting the ChIPS Program

Funds raised through the Schools Challenge will be directed to the Chronic Illness Peer Support (ChIPS) Program at The Royal Children's Hospital.

ChIPS supports young people aged 12 to 25 living with chronic medical conditions, providing opportunities to connect with peers, develop leadership skills and participate in activities including camps, music, art and discussion programs.

The program has been running for over thirty years and is currently 100% philanthropically funded. 


Your student fundraising efforts will directly support the continuation of this life-changing program.
