Aboriginal Education

We are proudly situated on Wonnarua Country. Our school is committed to closing the achievement gap for Aboriginal students. We know that we need to learn about, nurture and value the cultural identity of our Aboriginal students in order to enable successful learning. 

We welcome Aboriginal and Torres Stait Islander family members, parents and 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 our Indigenous students. We have a community meeting every term and welcome all families to attend. 

NSW Public Schools are committed to bridging the gap in reading, writing and numeracy between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous students. It has implemented a set of initiatives, specifically to support teachers, schools and education systems across Australia to improve education outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. One of these inititatives is the development of the PLP. 

The Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) program fosters partnerships, builds connections and promotes the significant work being done by communities and schools in support of Aboriginal culture and education. 

The PLP goal-setting program helps students to build their knowledge through aspiring and achieving their goals aligned to the areas of:

  • literacy
  • numeracy
  • cultural
  • social
