The Aboriginal Education Team at Para Hills High School (PHHS) has transformed learning and pathways for Aboriginal students through impactful and authentic partnerships.
The team values and actively involves parents and carers in school life, fostering relationships with families through regular, culturally responsive, consultative processes.
Community recognition of the value of PHHS’s support has contributed to significantly improved attendance, achievement and engagement among Aboriginal students, with enrolments nearly doubling.
The team’s success is evidenced by high SACE achievement, with 100% completion and a remarkable attendance rate of 89%, surpassing the state-wide average.
