 * || 14:15 – 15:45 || = STREAM 3d: BUILDING COLLABORATION BETWEEN PARENTS, THE COMMUNITY, AND THE SCHOOL = ||
 * ||  || How do you make the relationship between tertiary education and industry work, and what are both sides doing to cement the relationship? This will include joint initiatives.

How can you involve the community more? Work experience, mentoring, knowledge share via online networks. Using real-life examples and exposure to increase experiential learning and evaluation. Clear and well-supported links with the local community allow students to draw on local knowledge and experience to enhance their learning. Teaching parents to advocate for their children, parent support groups, and engaging parents, mentors, and community leaders to engage children.

ROBERTA LINEHAN'S COMMENTS Established in 1970 by a group of parents and 2 teachers, Unicorn School is owned and governed by its parents. They were dissatisfied with their local independent and government maintained schools and therefore created their own. Parents and teachers work as a team for the benefit of the children and the former are active participants in school life. The curriculum is broad and liberal with a rich seam of creativity and a community of enquiry approach to education is encouraged. A child-centred approach is followed and emotional intelligence and self-responsibility are fostered. I am privileged to be the Headmistress.
