At the heart of this effort is the belief that schools can serve as universal platforms for change.
Education is a powerful tool for raising aspirations and improving lives, Our Place’s vision is for all children and families to succeed.
With a focus on early learning and social opportunities, engaging families to participate in playgroups and high-quality early learning programs, Our Place Mooroopna promotes positive learning environments at the centre and at home to ensure children are prepared for their learning journey.
They are committed to creating a culturally safe environment for children and families, providing support to help families maintain regular school attendance, and developing cohesive strategies between early years and school to ensure a continuity of learning.
Health and wellbeing support is another critical area, where they identify and promote relevant services, assist families in accessing these services, and increase child-related activities at the Mooroopna site.
They also aim to enhance family wellbeing by creating a welcoming environment for families, collaborating with local services to offer opportunities, and building strong relationships to support families needs.
Our Place is an initiative of the Colman Education Foundation, implemented through a 10-year partnership with the Victorian Government and philanthropic support.
This partnership ensures that children and families in Mooroopna receive the support they need to thrive, building a stronger, healthier and more successful community.
