Aboriginal student support
We are committed to closing the achievement gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. We know that we need to learn about, nurture and value the cultural identity of our Aboriginal students to help them be successful learners.
We welcome Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family members, parents and carers, as well as community members to our school so that we can get to know each other, learn about the local Aboriginal community and develop shared goals and plans for Aboriginal students.
The Aboriginal Education Policy confirms the NSW Department of Education’s commitment to improvement in educational outcomes and wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
Personalised Learning Pathways
Personalised Learning Pathways were a formal recommendation from the 2004 Aboriginal Education Review, in genuine partnership and collaboration with the NSW Department of Education and NSW Aboriginal Education Consultation Group Incorporated (NSW AECG).
Central to the implementation of this recommendation were the voices of Aboriginal families and community. Through strong relationships, collaboration, and partnerships with schools, staff and families we will see Aboriginal students achieve their aspirations and educational potential.
PLPs are an active and continuous process. Our Diverse Learning Team work in consultation and collaboration with the student, their families/carers and teachers, to identify, organise and apply personal approaches to learning and engagement for success.
