About Us

The BHP Pilbara Education Partnership is a collaboration between organisations, service providers and community members, working together to ensure all students and young people start school well prepared and are ready to take advantage of the Pilbara’s unique employment opportunities.

Our Brand

As a collaborative partnership between organisations, service providers and community members, the saying ‘many hands make light work’ has always been a governing ethos — indicative of the work required to bring about seismic change and the necessary path for us to achieve these goals.

At the end of 2016, BHP and the Department of Education launched the 2016 to 2020 BHP Pilbara Education Partnership. At this event all participants were invited to make an impression of their hands upon a banner thus creating our ‘brand’.

The ‘many hands’ graphic represent the community and schools coming together to improve educational outcomes for children and young people of the region.

Partners

As a collaborative partnership, we are focussed on developing positive relationships with agencies and organisations across the Pilbara in both the private and public sectors.

To support this collaboration, the Partnership has secured relationships through signed Memorandum of Understandings, forming agreements which allow the Partnership to better understand the needs of the community and provide a range of services that ensure children in the Pilbara are getting the best start to life.
