About Lālanga’s Toolbox.

  • "I love not having to plan and prepare anything. Everything is ready to go. I've also seen a big difference in the behaviour of my students and their attitude"

    Mrs Lata

  • "A big thank you for our awesome ToolBoxes. My students are loving completing the activities and ask me everyday if we're using our ToolBox today. There's some serious tension after lunch when they are waiting to find out what we are doing for the day!"

    Kayla - YR 1 Teacher

  • "It's been great to see students apply what they have learnt in the ToolBox to other areas. For example, learning about mindset was very helpful for the kids when we went on camp. They had a great attitude towards trying things and I often heard them repeating what they had learnt in ME The Athlete during camp"

    Eric - YR 5 Teacher

  • "The student feedback has been great. My kids love the class discussion and I've seen it's helped them to explore their thoughts and what they think about themselves. I've found that my connection with my students has grown. The learning videos and class discussion gives us the opportunity everyday to connect with each other"

    Mrs Holi - YR 5 Teacher

  • "The program is so well designed and caters to our student needs. The workbooks have been well designed. The kids love the learning videos and watching people like them, from their culture. I've also seen my kids grow in their confidence"

    Mrs Singh - Year 5 Teacher
