ACE Conference 2011 - Victory School.pdf

Victory Primary School in Nelson has adopted an approach which it describes as ‘enrolling the family, not just the child’. Community facilities have been put in place on the school grounds and parents actively welcomed and encouraged to participate in their child’s education. Families can get medical help, counselling, adult education, childcare, legal advice and meet with a number of government and community agencies providing family assistance at a school community centre.
