What does an AIEO do?

AIEO’s are based within eligible primary and secondary schools, for the purpose of providing support to the children of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families through on-site, direct and flexible assistance to students, parents, teachers, and other support services.

This may look like:

·    I support parents with teacher meetings, psych meetings, and communication with staff.

·    Assisting new students to integrate into the school and the local community.

·    Monitoring and developing the social and emotional well-being of these students.

·    Providing support to families with home visits, parent phone calls, attendance, and reintroducing students back into the school environment.

·    Planning and organizing NAIDOC Week activities, Harmony Day, ANZAC, and Reconciliation events. Also working with teachers to implement Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture into our school curriculum.

·    Making classroom packages for teachers to use with their students.

·    Raising awareness and delivery of Indigenous Cultural lessons in a whole class setting across the whole school Kindy-Year 6.
