2024 Roadmap
Looking back and moving forward
Leader reflections
We achieved a significant milestone in 2023 as all Our Place sites became fully operational, following the opening of new infrastructure at Westall Primary School and Morwell Park Primary School.
Our Place experienced remarkable growth and maturation in 2023, with a second year of uninterrupted site activity and strong family engagement across all settings.
Our approach
Our Place’s vision is for all children and their families to succeed in life.
The Our Place approach enables the local school to be the place that holistically supports children and families in communities experiencing disadvantage.
Moving forward
2024 Strategic Priorities
Improving the system for children and families
Our Place has developed a strategy to prioritise our work in advocating for systemic changes in policies and practices.
Partnership with government
Our Place’s relationships and partnership with government continued to play a key role in enabling our long-term, collaborative work across our school sites, as well as broadening the lessons and insights from our work to other settings and reforms.
