Summary

The remote farming community of Longreach lies in central west Queensland. 

AEDC results showed an improvement in the proportion of children who were developmentally vulnerable in language and cognitive skills.

To continue this, the principal met with the town’s two kindergarten and childcare services, to form a partnership agreement. Through this, educators agreed to share professional development opportunities and build a teachers network to look at ways to introduce pre-literacy and pre-numeracy skills for children.
