Information for Parents & Carers

At CommShare, we believe lunchtime should be safe, joyful and inclusive for every child. We partner with schools to create structured, student-led activities that build belonging, confidence and wellbeing — while reducing conflict and loneliness.

What Is CommShare?

Community Share is a South Australia–based initiative supporting schools to run student-led lunchtime programs that build connection, inclusion, wellbeing and leadership — using existing school spaces, trained student leaders and light-touch adult mentoring.

We work alongside schools and education settings, rather than adding pressure to them.

Our role is to equip, train and support young people to create welcoming spaces where students feel they belong and can step into leadership in age-appropriate ways.

Our activities include:

✓ creative stations

✓ sports and games

✓ storytelling

✓ talent shows

✓ homework help

✓ theme weeks


In schools, our activities are supervised by school staff and supported by a CommShare Mentor.

Our program is positive, safe, simple, and designed to help every student feel included.

What About Academic Help?

At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: every young person deserves the support they need to succeed—no matter their background, postcode or starting point.

That’s why we proudly partner with community homework clubs, providing dedicated volunteer tutors and high-quality educational resources to help students feel supported, capable and confident in their learning. Together, we create welcoming spaces where young people can grow academically, socially and emotionally—surrounded by people who genuinely care.
