  • School Services programs available online

    We’re excited to announce that we have transformed our flagship primary school programs online – with more to come! Due to the challenging education environment, Interrelate understands the importance of continuing our curriculum-aligning school programs to primary school students throughout Australia. With most students now learning in an online, isolated environment, transitioning our face-to-face programs to online, educational programs has been a key priority for Interrelate.
