ABORIGINAL PROGRAMS

Aboriginal Child, Youth and Family Program 

Targeting Aboriginal Youth and their families, parents and/or carers. Forms partnerships and network services, targeting organisations and community capacity building services for the clientele in the Peak Hill community.

Indigenous Advancement Strategy

This program will identify students who display signs of having trouble with literacy and numeracy. Neighbourhood Central will work with Indigenous families, schools and appropriate community members to ensure barriers to school attendance and learning performance are addressed.

There will be opportunities to participate in out of school reward activities such as cultural day trips.

Homework Centres will be located at Neighbourhood Central, 80-82 Currajong Street Parkes and 108 Caswell Street Peak Hill. These Homework Centres will be operating one day per week in each location during school terms from 3pm to 5pm, targeting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from Year 7 to Year 12.
