The Community Engagement Officer role is to establish and manage the development of the cultural programs for students, provide pastoral care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and their families work closely with key stakeholder groups including Townsville Catholic Education Officers, the College Leadership Team, The Community Consultation Committee and external government agencies. The Community Engagement Officer also provides leadership and advice in the area of community capacity building within the College context with a particular focus on the community consultation meetings and coordination of staff visits to remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Community Engagement requires a relationship built on trust and integrity: it is a sustained relationship between parents, friends and organisations working towards shared goals. St Teresa’s College has a diverse range of communities and it is important to acknowledge that each community is unique. It is only through continuous engagement of parents, friends, communities, and organisations that the College can continue to effectively educate the young men entrusted in our care.
If you have any questions or enquiries please feel free to contact the Community Engagement Officer Mr Cameron Harris on 07 4780 8300 or email charris6@abergowrie.catholic.edu.au
