REACH GOVERNANCE
REACH Management
The REACH strategy will be developed, facilitated and implemented by staff in three diverse HUBS that reflect the urban, rural and remote geography and the Indigenous cultural diversity of FNQ as well as sites that are positioned to strategically maximise relationships within the three arms of the DETA agency.
The three management HUBS are identified as ‘connects’ for education, training and arts industry in Far North Queensland:
- Torres Strait Cluster: Tagai State College (Thursday Island)
- Cape York Cluster: Western Cape College (Weipa)
- Cairns Cluster: Trinity Bay State High School (including Coastal, Tablelands and Johnstone)
From these three hubs, Arts events, programs and initiatives will be developed, managed and implemented to involve all schools in their clusters. REACH hubs will also take on a critical role of actively brokering future funding opportunities and partnerships between Education, Training and the Arts to support the goals of the strategy. Events, programs and initiatives being managed may take place on location at the hub schools, on location at specific schools within the cluster or on location at existing Community Arts venues under the REACH DETA branding.
A key component of our governance structure is to develop and embrace new ways of working across the DETA agency arms of Education, Training and the Arts and actively connect with related Arts Industry. This is being further developed in 2009 through a shared Creative Arts Partnerships role across DETA: TNQ TAFE, Education Queensland and Arts Queensland.
