Abstract
In recent years, schools in regional, rural and remote NSW have been affected by floods, drought, bushfires, animal plagues and other major disruptions, including COVID-19. It is vital that a school community's local capabilities are leveraged and boosted, so that they are ready to deal with future disruptions. This report focusses on two ways to boost the resilience of regional, rural and remote school communities: improving links between schools and their local communities, and opportunities for contextualised student learning and professional learning of school staff
