Partnership Acceptance Learning Sharing (PALS)
Grants for WA schools projects promoting and advancing reconciliation.
Funding assistance of $1000 is available for your school to complete a
PALS project. PALS projects are varied, and your school may already be
involved with initiatives that are eligible for PALS funding. PALS
funding is available to all WA primary and
secondary schools and encourages schools with and without Aboriginal
students to participate.
PALS is an initiative of the department which encourages WA schools to
develop projects that promote reconciliation in their local community.
PALS is based on the core attributes of:
- Partnership between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people based on trust, mutual respect and understanding;
- Acceptance of and respect for diversity and valuing Aboriginal perspectives;
- Learning
more about each other, Aboriginal histories, languages and cultures;
and how we can build strong partnerships with Aboriginal people;
- Sharing a common journey towards healing and reconciliation.
Acquittal
To complete your PALS Acquittal, login to the

All funded projects must be acquitted in October by submitting the
completed project. The projects will then be judged as part of the
annual PALS Awards process.
Each year Awards are offered to
outstanding PALS projects in each category and are presented at a PALS
Awards ceremony, including an overall winner.
