Aboriginal leaders, principals, teachers and CNS researchers came together at Tweed River for our recent Leadership Hub Meeting.
CNS leaders at Tweed River High School hosted representatives from four other CNS schools for the three-day meeting in June, including an on Country experience.
The CNS Leadership Hub is an opportunity for our Blak Caucus, Principals and other CNS school leaders to come together and share their experiences of leading CNS in their communities, offering collegial support, and making invaluable connections.
They engage in a range of activities, including professional conversations and leadership events, which focus on sharing leadership practice, offering collegial support and further developing leadership capabilities.
Our Blak Caucus has been established to prioritise Aboriginal community collaboration and guidance on the project. It consists of Aboriginal cultural leads from our eight participating schools. Working in conjunction with the Blak Caucus team, a Cultural mentoring program is designed to localise and provide explicit truths and examples in re-shaping content resources and teacher perspectives.
Dr Claire Golledge is a Lecturer in Education and a CNS researcher at Alexandria Park Community School. She is leading research into the impact of the CNS Leadership Hub.
"A key agenda item for the Leadership Hub was around schools and communities working towards local agreements, and the Hub provided the time, space and structure for these significant conversations to develop," said Dr Golledge.
