18 DecCreating engaging schools for all children and young people: What works December 2016
This report seeks to renew Victoria’s interest and determination to improve school and student engagement in Victoria. This report showcases positive practice examples of engaging schools, documenting the ways which leading schools engage children and young people. Our purpose is to share these experiences with all schools, families, government agencies and community organisations, so all children and young people can be engaged in their learning. The report identifies principles of good practice every school might adopt – along with system changes and assistance required from government for all Victorian children and young people to stay engaged at school. This report was prepared by an alliance of community sector organisations including the Victorian Council of Social Service (VCOSS), Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare (CFECFW), Youth Affairs Council of Victoria (YACVic), Early Learning Association Australia (ELAA) and Hume Whittlesea Local Learning and Employment Network (HWLLEN).
