SBS Learn
SBS Learn provides free, Australian Curriculum-aligned teaching resources for educators, covering Foundation through Year 12. Its downloadable lesson plans, activities and classroom materials are made for primary and secondary students, with a focus on multicultural and First Nations educational content. Resources cover all learning areas and connect to Cross Curriculum Priorities, General Capabilities and Curriculum Connections. Teachers can browse by subject and year, including English, mathematics, science, humanities and social sciences, and the arts.
Teachers can download, save and share resources with colleagues and students. Curated short SBS and NITV clips come with guided questions, activities and curriculum links to support classroom discussion and critical thinking. The Alone Australia resource includes collaborative activities, discussion questions, research tasks, differentiated scaffolds and outdoor learning activities. Some materials may become unavailable when the related SBS or NITV content is out of licence. For full-episode classroom viewing, SBS Learn points teachers to ClickView or their school’s resource centre. Teachers can also subscribe for resource updates by email or contact SBS Learn through its form. It is SBS’s schools-based education arm and has developed teacher resources since 2015.
