Education in Morawa
 Morawa offers a dynamic and unique education environment. The driving force behind this progressive environment is the Morawa Education Alliance.
The Morawa Education Alliance is a partnership between the Morawa Shire Council, The Morawa District High School and the WA College of Agriculture, Morawa. It was establlished in 2006 with the aim of establishing an education industry in Morawa, renowned for high quality, customer-focused education.
The Alliance works by the theory of “thinking outside the square” in order to have Morawa recognised as an outstanding educational service provider in regional WA.
Having adopted a Strategic Plan in May 2006, the Morawa Education Alliance has already made progress with a number of projects and is expecting some exciting changes over the next two years.
A collaborative timetable between the High School and the College of Agriculture has given upper secondary students greater access to specialist learning opportunities with shared teaching and material resources. The Alliance is looking at incentives to attract and retain experienced staff in Morawa, plus it’s pursuing many avenues, particularly in the mining sector, to ensure local options for students and school leavers.
As a working model for rural communities facing similar challenges throughout Australia, the Alliance is actively seeking funding and support from State and Federal politicians to assist its progress.
In addition to needing support from politicians, the community also has a vital role in supporting education by building relationships with teachers, parents, students and government agencies that service children. Every member of the community has a role to play in ensuring the support for schools and their teaching personnel.
