8. Inclusivity
Public education authorities are committed to achieving excellence by enhancing educational opportunities for all students.
Schools endeavour to create environments where:
- all students feel a strong sense of belonging
- all students learn to interact respectfully with others
- all students learn to understand and appreciate diversity, and
- all parents and carers in the community can take an active role in the life of the school.
Inclusivity means...
- assists schools to improve the achievement, participation and retention of marginalised students, and
- ensures that all students acquire the knowledge and skills for
- working and living productively and respectfully with people from a range of backgrounds and cultures
- developing healthy and satisfying personal relationships, and
- actively shaping social, economic and political life.
