Inclusion and belonging in the local school- The parent tool-kit: Townsville UPDATED for 2024!

Face to face workshop: Tuesday 20th February 2024

Inclusion in the regular local school of children with disability has been possible for decades. It is a human right; supported by evidence and supported by Queensland’s Inclusive Education policy. But achieving inclusion for all children is still not simple and straightforward! The role of a parent in working with their child's school for good inclusion is crucial.

This workshop will cover:

Knowing your child’s gifts and setting a vision for inclusion success
Embracing your role as an advocate
What authentic inclusion in the regular class looks like
Education laws, policies and supports
Speaking positively and confidently to work collaboratively with the school
Advocacy tips to stay strong and effective

Who should attend?
Parents and carers of school-aged children (Prep to Year 12) with disability. Parents and carers of younger children who are starting to think about/prepare for the school years are also encouraged to attend – it is never too early to start planning for inclusion.

This free face-to-face workshop will be delivered by CRU facilitators passionate about inclusive education and experienced in advocating for inclusion.
