Connected Communities is an OCHRE initiative to help Aboriginal students achieve their very best and fulfil their aspirations.
Local Aboriginal communities work with the Department of Education to make sure that schools meet local Aboriginal students’ needs and help them to reach their goals.
Connected Communities works together with a wide range of education, industry, and government organisations. This helps students to achieve better outcomes and to find pathways towards further education and jobs.
The Connected Communities strategy is a whole of government commitment working towards generational change.
Connected Communities has a unique co-leadership approach. Local members of the Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Inc. (AECG) work together with the Executive Principal and other stakeholders to develop local solutions to meet students’ needs.
