About the school
Mian School is located in Bultje Street, Dubbo, near the city's centre. The school caters to 28 students, primarily from years 5 to 9, who have faced challenges in the mainstream education system and often exhibit disengagement from their studies. With a notable 93% Aboriginal student population, Mian School addresses significant gaps in literacy and numeracy among its students, as identified through school-based assessments. Each student benefits from a tailored Individual Learning Support Plan that accommodates their unique learning needs.
Collaboration with parents, carers, and community groups is a core priority, fostering active involvement in students' educational journeys. Mian School aims to provide a supportive and flexible educational environment that promotes the development of students as productive, respectful, and responsible community members. The curriculum is designed to be adaptive, addressing individual learning needs while encouraging student participation in programs offered by external agencies.
The school emphasises the importance of building positive relationships, ensuring that students feel valued, happy, and safe. This approach is integral to Mian School's philosophy, which seeks to facilitate smooth transitions for students back to mainstream schools, TAFE, or alternate educational settings. Through its commitment to personal growth and inclusive practices, Mian School strives to empower every child to realise their full potential in a nurturing community.
