Strategies for developing strong community partnerships
Keep up to date with events hosted by local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community organisations and advertise these in notices or newsletters.
Include annual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander events (local, regional and national) on the school’s calendar.
Develop and disseminate a list of local community organisations.
Support the development of units of work and school programs around community needs.
Ensuring local communities are involved in the explicit teaching of local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander protocols, and respect for country.
Establishing community/school protocols for sharing both cultural and school information.
Engaging Indigenous people in the planning, implementation and evaluation of units and school projects, particularly those of cultural sensitivity or diverse viewpoints.
