Work with and support the needs of vulnerable children from diverse and complex backgrounds, including First Nations children, children with disability, and those in care.
Support family capacity building to assist their child's learning, development, and wellbeing, encourage ongoing engagement in school, and help the school respond to the complex needs of students and families.
