Wannik Education Strategy for Koorie Students

Victorian Education Strategy for Koorie Students

The Wannik Education Strategy has the overarching principle to deliver the best possible education to Victoria's Koorie students.

From the Gunai/Kurnai language, Wannik (pronounced 'Wunn-ick') means 'Learning Together - Journey to Our Future'.

Wannik represents a new era of collaboration within all Victorian schools. The system will reposition the education of Koorie students through a culture of strong leadership, high expectations and individualised learning.
