Moree East Public School is one of 15 Connected Communities schools in New South Wales chosen to deliver a new approach that addresses the educational and social aspirations of Aboriginal children and young people living in a number of complex and diverse communities in NSW.
This strategy positions schools as community hubs that will deliver a range of services from birth, through school, to further training and employment. Connected Communities schools, work in partnership with Aboriginal leaders in the local community to help improve educational outcomes for young Aboriginal people. This strategy has been informed by advice from the Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG), and a broad consultation process with key stakeholders; underpinned by progressive educational research that highlights the value of place-based approaches to education.
