Wilcannia Central School is defined by robust community engagement and leadership. We deliver tailored learning pathways for students from Pre-school to Year 12. Located in Western NSW on the Darling River, we create a positive educational environment for our 74 students, of which 95 per cent are Aboriginal. As a Connected Communities school, we are part of a supportive network that builds strong partnerships with Aboriginal leaders, our school community, parents and external agencies to provide a holistic approach to education for our students. Our small school setting means we know and care for every child as an individual. We develop cutting-edge curricula and teaching practices in order to meet each child's specific needs, in close partnership with our school colleagues, families and our local community. Our specialist school-wide programs foster engagement and boost literacy and numeracy outcomes. Staffing comprises of a full range of teaching experience with an age range between 25-60 years for most staff. A 2 year 'Incentive Transfer' entitlement for permanent teaching staff contributes to a high percentage of staff turnover. Wilcannia CS staff are committed to achieving the best possible options for all students by developing strong links with parents, community groups, NSW AECG and organisations to enable the realisation. We work hand-in-hand with the community at all stages of their child's schooling, supporting their health and wellbeing as they grow to become the leaders of tomorrow. Connected Communities is a strategy to drive improved educational outcomes for Aboriginal children and young people. The strategy positions schools as community hubs that broaden the influence of the community and school leadership in the delivery of key services that support children and young people from birth through school into further training, study and employment.
