| Roebourne School, in the town of Roebourne, has a student population of mostly Aboriginal students. The School caters for K-12 students. The Aboriginal people in the town are largely from 3 language groups: the Nguluma people, in whose country the town is situated along with Yindjibarndi and Bunjuma people who were moved from stations to the town. There are also smaller numbers of Aboriginal people from other areas. The school ensures all groups have a 'voice' as no one group speaks for all. The community have a desire to be strong in spirit, grounded in a strong culture. The school strives to encourage and nurture this spirit. Aboriginal employment is maximised, through school and other funding as well as through traineeships and developing partnerships with industry and community. The community is involved in the school, not only through Language, Culture and PSPI but also with wider community consultation meetings. The Strong Men and Strong Women's groups are invited to the school to talk to students. Attendance continues to be a cause of significant concern and strategies to improve this are a key driver for programs. Engaging students in learning is seen as having the most significant impact on student attendance and behaviour. The teaching experience of staff fluctuates from year to year. Most staff travel from Karratha (42km)on a daily basis. The school has GiR Maths and an AEST position to provide additional support to staff. Fully integrated computers are in all classrooms. Staff at Roebourne who gain most satisfaction from their placement are those who enjoy a challenge, are prepared to push their boundaries and are flexible and with a desire to learn. They must have a strong interest in finding out and valuing worldviews other than their own. | ||||
