Screen-free by design
No student accounts, device trolley or app login is needed for the printable activities.
Why it works in a teaching setting
Less setup. More real-world investigation.
GSA is built around one main task at a time: notice something real, gather simple evidence, discuss what it means and take an achievable next step. Teachers can use the free guides as lesson ideas and try the mission format before asking about broader school use.
Low-prep investigations
Many activities use only paper, pencils and the school grounds, local park or another safe outdoor space.
Story gives the task a purpose
Children become Agents with an objective and something to report back, rather than simply completing another worksheet.
Ages 6–11
Resources are designed for primary-aged children and can be adapted by the adult leading the activity.
Evidence before slogans
Students observe systems, habitats and choices before deciding what action might make sense.
Teacher-led and flexible
The adult remains responsible for supervision, suitability, weather, site safety and local school requirements.

School use & licensing
Using paid GSA files with a class or school?
The current A$19 Starter Kit purchase carries a personal/household-use licence unless a product page expressly says otherwise. It does not automatically grant class-wide copying or school-wide distribution rights.
For classroom, multi-class or school use: email hello@gaiassecretagents.com with your school name, approximate number of students and what you would like to use. We can then discuss an appropriate school-use option before you purchase or reproduce paid files.
Common questions
Before you use GSA at school
Can I use the free teacher guides with my class?
The public website guides are provided as free teaching ideas. You can use the ideas in your teaching. Paid downloadable products remain subject to their licence terms.
Can I print one A$19 Starter Kit for an entire class?
Not under the current personal-use licence. Contact GSA first for class or school-use permission.
Does GSA require student accounts or student emails?
No. The printable activities do not require student accounts. The free sample form asks for an adult email address.
Is GSA formally aligned to every Australian Curriculum year level?
No. The teacher guides identify possible learning connections, but teachers remain responsible for matching activities to their year-level outcomes, curriculum plan and school requirements.
Can homeschool families use the same resources?
Yes. The free guides and personal-use products can suit homeschool settings, subject to the stated product licence.
