Shared Responsibility Agreement
At the remote Youngaleena community early childhood education is available only through ‘School of the Air’, currently held in the lounge room of a community resident.
The community has just signed an SRA that will provide a small but secure learning environment for the children.
The Australian Government will help purchase a transportable venue for the learning centre (a donga) and buy equipment such as toys and books.
Parents will make sure their children attend the School of the Air. The Gumula Aboriginal Corporation will help with installation of the donga.
Having this support and a place where they can concentrate on learning will help prepare the children of Youngaleena for primary school.
