Closing the Gap in Action: Schools Leading the Way

Across NSW, schools are demonstrating what works in Closing the Gap. These examples show how targeted approaches are improving educational outcomes for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students.

• Aldavilla Public School: Embedding high expectations, strong literacy and numeracy programs, and community engagement to achieve learning growth.
• Ashmont Public School: Fostering a culture of high expectations and using data driven practices to enhance student outcomes.
• Westport Public School: Strengthening student and community engagement through culturally responsive teaching practices.

These schools show that when high expectations, strong relationships, and data informed teaching are at the core of education, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students thrive.
