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.
A ‘Tiers of Opportunity’ and ‘Points Guide’ system has been developed to support students to aspire to their personal best.
Participating Schools

Objective
To increase engagement at school by improving individual student attendance, academic achievement, taking on leadership roles, mentoring others, meeting a set goal and actively engaging with the community.
BHP continues to work with education experts in the Pilbara to identify and provide opportunities to improve the lives of local students. As part of the Pilbara Education Partnership, the Rise Up program will be offered to all students from Years 5 to 12, and will be developed by school leaders, students, parents and the community to make sure it is tailored to their needs.
