The Pilbara Education Partnership was established to ensure all children start school well-prepared, to make sure all children and young people are ready to take advantage of all the unique employment opportunities in the Pilbara.
The BHP Pilbara Education Partnership was established in 2005, to strengthen education services and improve educational outcomes in public schools within Newman, Port Hedland and surrounding areas within the Shire of East Pilbara and the Town of Port Hedland.
BHP has invested around $40 million in education since 2010. These generous contributions have significantly impacted Western Australia’s public education in general and more specifically, across the Pilbara.
Helping children feel ready for their first day of school and supported throughout their education. We work alongside schools, families and community organisations to provide coordinated support and early intervention when needed.
Creating strong pathways from primary school through to training, further education and employment. Students build the knowledge, skills and confidence to make informed decisions about their future and engage with the world of work.
Supporting students to reach their full potential and celebrate success. Through targeted support and a whole-school approach, students are encouraged to build confidence, improve outcomes and strengthen leadership and community connections.
The school grants program provides funding for schools across Port Hedland, Newman and Onslow to add value to STEM related initiatives to improve outcomes for students.
