At FSI, we don’t just serve the education sector we honour it. It's the system that changed the life of our founder, Michael Fernandez, and continues to shape future generations. Giving back is woven into everything we do, not as a side initiative, but as a core part of our mission.

Through the FSI Scholarship Program, we support students who show resilience, growth, and potential not just high marks. These scholarships are educator-nominated, with librarians and teachers putting forward the students they believe deserve a chance. For us, it's about recognising real stories, real challenges, and the educators who see beyond the surface.

FSI Connect is our event series designed to bring school communities together from library staff to classroom teachers and decision-makers. These aren’t just training sessions; they’re chances to collaborate, share experiences, and feel part of something bigger. We host them in person to foster real connections, inspire ideas, and create a support network across schools.

FSI Marketplace is another way we give back by helping schools stretch their budgets further. It connects schools directly with Australian-owned education suppliers offering exclusive discounts, giving librarians more buying power and greater influence in their schools while supporting local businesses.
