Teacher Personal Development, Health and Physical Education - Chifley College Dunheved Campus

Chifley College Dunheved Campus is located on Darug country, with Wianamaata Creek to the north and surrounded by the rich Cumberland Plain Woodland. The school is an individual campus that exists as part of a federation of five schools known as Chifley College.

The school's current enrolment of 550 students includes a seven-class support unit. These classes cater for students with a range of disabilities including mild to moderate disabilities and autism. 28% of students identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and a further 32% of students are from backgrounds where English is an Additional Language or Dialect, predominantly Pacific Islander. The school has had a steady enrolment increase over the past six years.

The school receives significant funding to support student learning outcomes through the Resource Allocation Model (RAM), including equity loadings for Aboriginal background, English language proficiency, low-level adjustment for disability and socio-economic background.

Strong partnerships are evident within the active Parents and Citizens' (P&C) association, the Pemulwuy local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG), local Aboriginal Elders, partner primary schools, universities, local businesses, industry and community organisations.
