Partnerships
The 'School and community: working together' series
These materials are working documents intended to support partnerships between Indigenous communities and schools.
They are based on the notion that 'you can't have a partnership without a relationship and you can't have a relationship without a conversation'. A booklet for school staff has that title, as does one for Indigenous parents and communities.
There are also four other leaflets intended to assist Indigenous parents and communities with their discussions.
