New AIEOs (ATAs or AEWs) and other Aboriginal Staff
Recommendations from Sharing Days
It is very important for new Aboriginal staff to be mentored through a buddy system to help them to meet and get to know community members and school families.
It is also important, where possible, to have a balance of gender, age and experience among AIEOs (ATAs or AEWs) employed in the school or area.
Points to consider
The role of the principal
It is crucial for the principal to develop his/her relationships with the local community members based on mutual trust, understanding, and genuine care. This way, school community members can relate to the person rather than the position.
Points to consider
The role of the front office
The first point of contact in the school for parents and visitors is usually the front office. It is through this first contact that impressions are made about the warmth, support and attitudes of the school.
