Margaret River : making the most of every opportunity

Margaret River, WA is a community with a strong focus on youth, but it has not always been this way. The community went through a difficult period in the early 1990s, when intergenerational trust was low and youth engagement in the community declined. It was only after a concerted effort by schools and a community leadership committed to change that the situation was gradually reversed. The role of the school in facilitating this change is the focus of this case study.
