Supporting aboriginal students
We are committed to building stronger relations with our local aboriginal community – the Wiradjuri people.
We know that we need to learn about, nurture and value the cultural identity of our Aboriginal students in order to assist them to be successful learners.
We welcome Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family members, parents and community members to our school so that we can get to know each other, learn about the local Aboriginal community and develop shared goals and plans for Aboriginal students.
At Bathurst West Public School, we run a variety of programs to develop and celebrate aboriginal culture. As part of these we encourage Aboriginal students to learn how to negotiate and develop strategies by providing unique leadership opportunities
