School and community partnership agreement

Schools across Australia are working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to improve student outcomes. The focus is on ensuring children and young people succeed.

A written or recorded agreement is an effective step in the process of strengthening and maintaining successful partnerships. Agreements vary in format with content reflecting the negotiation that has taken place between individual schools and communities and shared understandings that have emerged in relation to educational values, priorities and goals. 快播官网 and the Aboriginal school community finalised this process in May 2015.

The School and Community Partnership Agreement focus areas are:

  • Student engagement in learning and successful outcomes
  • Valuing Aboriginal people, cultures and experiences
