We’re passionate educators turning classroom dreams into reality with practical, reusable resources and inspiring ideas. Teaching just got a whole lot simpler (and more fun)!
We believe in working smarter, not harder. With decades of teaching experience, our mission at Rainbow Sky Creations is to empower teachers with the best resources, tools, and support to make their classrooms shine.
Gone are the days when you had to do everything on your own – we share fun planning ideas, hundreds of class activities, tips and teaching hacks and we bring you weekly content on our blog and podcast.
We’re Ashleigh & Alisha – two Aussie teachers who are passionate about sharing everything we know and love about education!
Our story began way back in 2011 when we met teaching at an international school in Dubai. It didn’t take long for us to bond over a shared love of travel, trying new things, and losing ourselves in a good book (preferably with a coffee in hand).
Fast-forward five years, and we were back on Aussie soil – Ash in Sydney and Alisha in Perth – ready to give back to the teaching community that had given us so much. That’s when Rainbow Sky Creations was born. 🌟
Today, our yin-and-yang approach to supporting teachers has grown far beyond what we ever imagined. We’re proud to be teachers supporting teachers, helping educators around the world feel confident, prepared, and inspired.
I’ve always known I wanted to be a teacher – no surprises there coming from a family of teachers! My passion for education led me straight into the classroom and, eventually, into creating resources to support other teachers.
I’m the ‘Type A’ organised half of the team, the one who thrives on product creation, writing weekly blog posts, and keeping everything running smoothly on social media. When I’m not cheering on and supporting the teaching community, I’m embracing mum life with my three kids and all the magical moments that come with it.
Multiplication Flip it Games
I’ve always loved exploring new things and connecting with people, which led me to study design, teach kids photography, travel the world, and eventually find my passion in education.
I’m the ‘Type B’ half of the team, the one who thrives on all the behind-the-scenes techie tasks that keep everything running smoothly. From tinkering with systems to brainstorming creative ideas, I love bringing a little magic to every RSC project. When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my two kids, navigating the joys and adventures of mum life.
Number of the Day
We bring fresh ideas to life, designing resources that inspire joy, curiosity, and learning in every classroom.
From overwhelm to ease; from overworked to feeling balanced. We are here to do things differently.
Sometimes when you change one thing, the rest will follow. Keep it simple.
