Dear Purple Orange Team,
I am contacting you as part of a community initiative into inclusive education in South Australia, which also contributes to a Social Justice in Action project through Torrens University.
We are seeking perspectives from advocacy organisations to understand how inclusive education is experienced by children, families, and communities across the state, and to highlight what changes would make the biggest difference.
I would greatly value the opportunity to meet briefly with a member of your team to hear about your work and insights on inclusive education. If a meeting is not possible, I kindly ask that you complete our short community questionnaire here:
Inclusive Education in Our Community – Limestone Coast 👉https://forms.gle/9TMNbL8yd4TiVFqs9
Inclusive Education in Specialist Settings – Limestone Coast 👉https://forms.gle/6BvkJDT5ypdWninA9
Inclusive Education – Regional Leadership & Oversight (Limestone Coast) 👉https://forms.gle/muNGd9mkgkspZz5N9
Your advocacy and experience will provide a vital perspective in ensuring that the voices of families and students are represented alongside schools and regional leadership.
Warm regards,

Laurena (Lauri) Byers
