School-based education gives Australian kids the best start in life. By supporting children, families and their communities through our School Attendance program in Ceduna (SA) and Darwin, Save the Children helps to remove barriers preventing children from attending school. Cultural guidance officers from within the community work with children, parents, schools and community leaders to address needs related to nutrition, learning difficulties, housing, culture and transport.
