Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Inc. (AECG)
The NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Inc. is a not for profit Aboriginal organisation that provides advice on all matters relevant to education and training with the mandate that this advice represents the Aboriginal community viewpoint.
The NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Inc. promotes respect, empower-ment and self-determination and believes the process of collaborative consultation is integral to equal partnership and is fundamental to the achievement of equality.
The NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Inc. advocates cultural affirmation, integrity and the pursuit of equality to ensure that the unique and diverse identity of Aboriginal students is recognised and valued.
The primary role of the NSW AECG Inc. is to promote active participation by Aboriginal people in the consultative and decision making process of education and training related matters.
The AECG invites all parents, grandparents and carers of Aboriginal school children to attend the Blue Mountains AECG Meetings. Please see the Events Calendar on the Springwood Public School Website for upcoming dates.
Please join in and be part of the conversation about what's happening in our local schools to support Aboriginal students and promote learning about Aboriginal culture.
