Mian School
Mian school is located in Bultje Street Dubbo near the centre of the city. Students attending Mian School have had difficulties in achieving success in a mainstream setting and are generally disengaged from their education. Mian school caters for 28 students. Classes are made up of students from years 5 to 9. Students access Mian School from primary and secondary schools in Dubbo and Narromine. Mian School has a population of 93% Aboriginal students. The majority of students, evidenced through school based assessments, demonstrate gaps in literacy and numeracy learning. Each student at Mian school has a negotiated Individual Learning Support Plan. Students are provided with adjustments to cater for their individual learning needs. Consultation with Parents / Carers and students is a high priority at Mian School. Students are actively encouraged to participate in their own education through involvement with programs provided by community groups and outside agencies. VISION STATEMENT Mian School seeks to work with parents/carers and the community to provide a flexible, supportive environment in which students develop the capacity to become productive, respectful and responsible members of the community. We strive to have our parents/carers, teachers and community members actively involved in our students' learning. Through its curriculum Mian school tailors programs to address individual student learning needs.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
