any community – they are very
vibrant places where mums and
dads, grandparents, children and
young people congregate to learn,
socialize and build social networks”

5. • Communityschool
• According to the Coalition for
Community Schools, a community
school is “both a place and a set
of partnerships between the
school and other community
resources.” And “its integrated
focus on academics, health and
social services, youth and
community development, and
community engagement leads to
improved student learning,
stronger families, and healthier
communities. Using public schools
as hubs, community schools bring
together many partners to offer a
range of supports and
opportunities to children, youth,
families, and communities.”
6. • A community school is a
school in which community
organizations offer
coordinated educational
and social services within
the school building. The
school becomes a hub of
resources that support
learning and nurture the
well-being of students and
families.
8. Schools as community hubs
• Schools as community hubs is a vision for public
schools, preschools and facilities to be more
accessible and shared across communities. This
approach will enhance education and wellbeing
outcomes for children and young people and
build connections and opportunities for lifelong
learning in communities.
•
9. Approach
• The schools as community hubs approach
has been shown to improve attendance
rates, parent engagement and encourage
different ways to meet complex and
changing needs of students. The goal is to
build a community where children, young
people, teachers, parents and community
members work together interactively,
recognizing that children and young
people learn best with real-life situations
and hands-on activities.
