Purpose
Place-based approaches to school improvement and community development promote whole-of-government partnerships and leverage local strengths to give every child and young person the best opportunities to succeed.
The Partnership and Educational Precincts Initiatives are 2 actions of the Equity and Excellence education strategy that are integrating planning, design and delivery of education across schools, early years services and community partners to respond to the changing needs of communities.
Dedicated educational precincts will offer a network approach to schooling, where schools in a geographical location benefit from collective planning and sharing of staffing, facilities and other resources to sustainably deliver more strategic and efficient approaches to education in a broad community context.

The Partnership Initiative acknowledges there are a small number of Queensland schools that require higher levels of co-ordinated support and strengthened whole-of-government approaches to deliver effective local responses to community challenges and opportunities.
