Aboriginal learner achievement
Cultural awareness
- Nunga Kids Group is held fortnightly. This group gives our Aboriginal students an opportunity to build a sense of belonging, identity and to develop relationships. Articles about the Nunga group are completed by our students and included in the EPPS School Newsletter.
- Each year we organise whole school cultural events for Reconciliation Week to raise cultural awareness in the school community.
Parent/community engagement
- East Para Primary School values the importance of working alongside and developing relationships with Aboriginal families to build a culturally inclusive community. We understand the critical role parents and families play in contributing to their children’s education and cultural identity. We encourage Aboriginal parents and carers to be active participants in their child’s education by attending their child(ren)’s One Plan meetings, parent teacher interviews, family gatherings and school events that include their child.
- We make and sustain positive relationships with Aboriginal families and parents of Aboriginal students by holding gatherings where parents and carers are invited to attend or be involved, making regular phone calls, catching up in the yard before and after school.
