About

Working Together to add Value to Education Across the Pilbara.

The BHP Pilbara Education Partnership brings together organisations, service providers, and community members to help children get the best possible start at school, and to support young people to develop the skills, confidence, and support needed for a successful learning journey. As they move on to further education, training, and future careers, they’ll be well prepared to make the most of the Pilbara’s unique job opportunities.

Partnership Objectives

Our goals for children, families, and young people across the Pilbara are to:

  • Strengthen education opportunities and deliver greater value for learners
  • Improve overall life outcomes
  • Attract more families to the Pilbara and encourage them to stay
  • Help children and families begin school better prepared
  • Give young people the tools and support they need to be ready for the future
  • Promote positive life outcomes for all
  • Expand the range of opportunities available, building on what already exists
  • Boost the effectiveness of current learning programs in Pilbara schools

Our four focus areas are strategically aligned with the key stages of a child’s education and aims to provide children of the Pilbara with the foundations for a successful future, throughout their schooling and beyond.

Community 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.
