- The school makes you welcome from
the time you step on the school grounds,
you go to the office,
they're so welcoming there.


They're there for the child.
And they've to help you, help your child.

I get notification by the school
about my child's learning through emails.

A teacher phoning me.

So one good thing that the school does,
it's called good news mile.

Are saved some in just
before the school holidays,
and to say that my son
had done exciting work
and in Maths, and it gave him
encouragement to try harder
and I just think it's
fantastic that you know,
a school does that.

- Families feel comfortable to talk to me
because [talks] really strong
at building relationships,
these relationships are at the core.

So having those really
positive relationships
with their parents,
ensures that we can
have those conversations
and it is comfortable.

- I think it's most important
that we need to know whether
the child has a good da
or not as school,
because that reflects in his schoolwork.

It's adjusted to his needs,
so he has a special learning just for him,
compared to the other children,
and it's just suited basically for him.
And he works to that.

And if he doesn't understand,
then he's at the opportunity to ask
and a teacher can just
focus on that area for him.

- Sharing NCCD information with them,
it's just really talking
about the adjustments
that I might be making for
their child in the classroom
and what that looks like.

And also just gaining I suppose
they're important things
that they might know that works
for their children as well.

I think it's really important
that our parents have an input
in their child's education.

We have PLP meetings with our Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander families,
at the beginning of the year,
and then there's constant
communication throughout
the year about where their
child's progress is at
and we talk about where
we think that they can go
and what some realistic
goals that we can set.

We also talk to the student
and ask them some of the things
that they would like to
achieve in their learning.

- Yeah, always work with the
school to create goals for him,
just things that I think that
he should be working on more.

We always sit down and
do his personal learning
and it's very good like that.
