Stronger Smarter
Stronger Smarter
The ‘Strong and Smart’ approach, developed by Dr Chris Sarra at Cherbourg State School, is now used in schools across the country to embrace a strong and positive sense of what it means to be Aboriginal in contemporary Australian society.
A selection of BCHS Executive, Senior Excutive and Teaching staff have been trained in the Leadership course from 2017 to present. The Stronger Smarter Team in 2023 hope to continue professionally developming all staff at BCHS now that COVID-19 restrictions has eased.
