Partnerships
Kariong Mountains High School is committed to working with the community to form partnerships in learning that will extend beyond the normal curriculum and support our purpose of "developing the skills required for students to be successful citizens of the twenty-first century". In working with local organisations and businesses, we are also involving them in determining the skills and attitudes that they require for their organisations and looking for ways to include this in our broad curriculum. Our current partnerships include:

NAISDA
In the Beginning, the Dreamtime
In the early 1970s an upsurge of Indigenous cultural pride led to the birth of a unique new dance form: Contemporary Australian Indigenous dance.
This new dance form sprang from the collaborations of Indigenous Aboriginal dance creators, Western trained choreographers and traditional cultural owners, who came together in performance and workshops, which evolved into workshops for young people keen to learn and perform this new dance fusion.
In 1976 a small group of students from both town and country began the first formal year-long Careers in Dance training course.
The performance arm of this program became known as the Aboriginal/ Islander Dance Theatre (AIDT) – a vibrant touring company employing students and graduates of the new Careers in Dance training program.
Very soon the theatre group was receiving invitations to perform at festivals across over the world, and the training side evolved into the National Aboriginal and Islander Skills Association – now known as NAISDA Dance College.

This famous national multi-award-winning zoo is now regarded as one of the country’s premier attractions. It is the only zoo in Australia committed to saving lives with a venom-milking program in place for the past 50 years. The Park also runs education programs aimed at providing hands-on experience for K-6 students.
