Mission Statement

The purpose of School-Kits is to provide a wide range of guides and resources to assist with education.

School-Kits provides a wide range of guides and resources to support education.

Education is the giving or receiving of instruction. At School-Kits, we value the education of the whole person. We go beyond the basics, helping individuals discover and learn for themselves.

School-Kits also offers tools for life. Our resources include study tips, advice on fitting in, and ways to understand the world. We help students develop values, build friendships, set goals, and gain the skills to succeed.

Our school-wide project guides reduce bullying and truancy. They create a safer, more effective learning environment and strengthen school communities. Every child learns differently, and our resources support their individual needs.

Together, we can make schools a place where kids want to be and parents feel confident sending them. With engaged learning and strong values, we help build a better future.

Our Values

Parents are the first and foremost educators of their children and secondly their extended family. Schools are an extension of the home and the first part of the community that young people become a part of and receive guidance and instruction.

Schools must address the needs of modern children by equipping them with the skills to handle challenges and the tools to support their journey. School Kits provide extra resources for schools to help them accomplish this in depth.

Our advantage is that we operate independently of government policies and create family-friendly material based on a traditional worldview.

None of our resources includes any “gender identity” DEI, CRT or the promotion of “rainbow” ideologies in school. These are adult choices and do not belong in schools, and should be left to parents after seeking professional help. Our resources recognise 2 biologically different genders, and we address students by the pronoun of the sex they were born as (boy or girl) in our resources. We do not believe that a young child can be “trans”, and therefore, this issue is not mentioned in our strategies either.

We stick to the education of the basics that kids need to succeed in life, and tools for teachers to present their material in a safe environment.

All people are born equally human and have the same right to an education and to pursue goals through their efforts. School-kits promote an education system and schools that provide all the essential tools to prepare students for work, character development, ethics, and personal effort for success. We promote time-tested and universally accepted values such as honesty, personal responsibility, and integrity.

about us and our History

School-Kits was conceived in 2002 on seeing a need for our children to develop greater skills than just the academics and topics being taught at school. Back then we noticed an ever-decreasing spiral in the behaviour of youth and the fostering of personal values was lacking in education systems.

In our early years, we created and supplied schools with guides and resources on character education, bullying prevention, life skills and truancy reduction.

Over the years we expanded and produced more resources, lessons and books to help teachers and students. Today we cover an even greater spectrum of educational needs with a wide range of digital kits for education and learning. Our view is that we need less government-sponsored ideology being taught in schools and more flexibility to teach traditional subjects and the development of the mind.

On the sorrowful passing of the founding partner of School-Kits, Elizabeth Macmillan (1961 to Nov 15, 2024), this entire website and its resources are dedicated to her memory. RIP.

Now we are a family of websites inter-related to serve education worldwide. Our sites include:

• School Kits – Providing resources to help schools, teachers, early childhood centres, students and parents. You are here now. These kits are designed to be used in any country.
• Centre for Educational Progress NZ (CEPNZ) – Our Central area for educational research and NZ-specific resources.
