With the SA election approaching, MPs need to hear from their communities now!

CYDA’s SA Inclusive Education Roadmap provides a staged, community-informed and practical plan to fix this. It would:

  • Support teachers to deliver inclusion
  • Help families feel confident their child is supported at school
  • Improve student wellbeing, connection, and outcomes
  • Strengthen school communities across the state

👉 Take one minute to email your MP and ask them to publicly support the Roadmap today.

Together, we can help South Australia continue to lead the nation in building schools where every child belongs.
