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 $30 million in education since 2010. These generous contributions have significantly impacted Western Australia’s public education in general and more specifically, across the Pilbara.
We want to make sure all children are well prepared for their first day of school and throughout their education.
We work with a range of agencies and organisations, offering a coordinated approach to services and early intervention to address any areas of concern.
Building clear pathways between primary and secondary school, all the way into training and employment.
Providing students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to help them make informed decisions about their future. We do this by offering a planned program of learning experiences to improve their understanding of career pathways and provide targeted support. Supporting all students to have increased opportunities to engage in the new world of work, training or further education.
Supporting students to rise to their full potential and celebrating their success. For all students, based on a whole-school framework, targeted support is provided to assist students to set and meet individual improvement goals around attendance, achievement, leadership and community engagement.
I’ve been really trying my hardest and my best. I have been focusing only on my work, all of my work. I think, get it done, have some fun.”
Success Program, Year 12 student
Responding to student input, the program introduced recess and lunch clubs, offering activities like basketball, book club, and sewing, to enhance belonging, foster new skills, and build friendships.
The Rise Up program at Hedland Senior High School encourages student leadership and community connection. Recently, Year 8 students led a Bake Sale, collaborating with Executive Student Leaders to plan and execute the event.
The Newman Pathways Strategy, supported by the BHP Pilbara Education Partnership, offers enriched learning experiences. Recently, Year 9 students participated in the YOH Fest, a state-wide competition using the arts to explore health issues.
Recently, students completed a Certificate II in Leadership, focusing on self-awareness, communication, and teamwork. Additionally, they developed job-ready skills in work health and safety and food hygiene, preparing them for the workforce and post-education pathways.
We acknowledge and respect the traditional custodians of the lands and waters on which our students live and are educated throughout the Pilbara.
We offer our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
