We’ve rounded up our five most viewed teaching resources for 2024. From Foundation through to Year 12, these popular, curriculum-mapped resources can be used to support student learning in your classroom in 2025.
- Eddie’s Lil’ Homies resource (F – Year 2)
This resource centres on the personal and social skills and understandings that are explored in each episode of the animated children’s series, Eddie’s Lil’ Homies. It includes concepts, discussion starters and hands-on learning tasks that support Foundation to Year 2 students to understand themselves and others, supporting them to navigate relationships in the classroom and beyond.
- More Than This resource (Years 9 – 12)
This resource explores themes in the M-rated television series, More Than This. The Consent and Respectful Relationships lesson for upper secondary students is consistently popular with educators. In this lesson, students learn that consent can take many forms and that there are different ways to give, seek and deny consent in respectful relationships.
- RUNT resource (Years 3 – 6)
The award-winning Australian children’s book Runt – written by Craig Silvey and illustrated by Sara Acton – has been adapted as a feature film. This resource provides sequenced learning tasks suitable for a whole-class film study. Alternatively, teachers can select individual tasks to complement and extend a class or cohort film screening.
This resource provides a series of curated, age-appropriate screen content with a discussion prompt and creative response ideas for Foundation to Year 10 students. Invite culture leaders and knowledge holders featured in these screen texts into the classroom for NAIDOC and beyond, to celebrate the resilience, generosity, creativity, and enduring strength of the oldest living culture in the world.

Dive into ocean science, sustainability, habitats, design technologies and more with your Year 3-6 students, with curated clips, discussion starters and collaborative learning sequences to use with your class.
