We engage in common data platforms such as Elastik and Brightpath and ultise the Aboriginal Cultural Standards Framework to support cultural understanding. The ability to be adaptable and flexible and teach in multi-aged classroom settings is required. Teachers will plan and engage in collaborative activities across the Network of schools to support the academic and social engagement of students.
