Your partners in inclusive, safe & thriving schools
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
"We exist to support every organisation to support every adult to support every child."
Sarah Morgante, Founder and Director
We believe all Australian school children have the right to be safe and feel safe and have their needs met as a foundation for a future full of possibility.
Driven by our commitment to support better school environments, we offer highly accredited expertise tailored to the unique needs of each school — empowering educators with practical resources to build nurturing, prevention-first learning cultures.
We assist schools in strategic planning, aligning leadership, policies and practices to achieve long-term goals and improve student outcomes, specialising in wellbeing, classroom management, behaviour support & child safety.
Learning should be as enjoyable as it is impactful so we deliver expert knowledge with enthusiasm that’s engaging, making it easy to grasp and explore.

What our schools are saying
"We thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah from One Red Apple as she unpacked the Child Safe Standards with our staff, expertly built up their knowledge and developed routines to embed the child safe standards into daily practice. Sarah is knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to work with and we look forward to continuing our ongoing association with her and One Red Apple."

"So grateful for Sarah from One Red Apple who partnered with us to collate evidence of the Child Safe Standards in practice at our school, in preparation for our upcoming School Review. Her knowledge, expertise, and attention to detail is admired and has saved us valuable time and allowed us to continue to prioritise our core business of educating our students."
- School Principal
"I have found working with One Red Apple to be a positively affirming process. They have combined their extensive knowledge of schools and institutions along with their developed understanding and appreciation of our college and context to help shape a robust, detailed, and comprehensive review to build capacity of our community."
- School Deputy Principal
"Thank you for coming in last Friday as my professional observation coach.It was lovely to meet you and I thoroughly enjoyed our constructive feedback session in the afternoon.I have already implemented quite a few 'tips', 'changes' and 'strategies' that we spoke about, and I'm quite excited as I move forward with my class in the next few weeks, in terms of creating a strong sense of 'class community' and 'respect'. I still have alot to work through, but I feel that it's great to have clarity around expected outcomes and class goals (as a result of our session)."
