Australia Post has now introduced the Pen Pal Club. Connecting children and Educators around Australia with their very own pen pals.
Educators can register their room and once registered, they will be matched to a similar class size for each child to have their own pen pal.
Along with the Pen Pal Club, Australia Post has also developed free lesson plans and teaching resources for early childhood services up until year 6 to implement the Pen Pal Club program within the service.
