Promoting hub programs is key
If people in your local community don’t know about the hub, they can’t join in. Here are some ideas on how to promote hub activities that you can recommend to hub leaders.
Word of mouth
- Use parents and local leaders from different cultural groups to spread the word about the hub. The more friendships hub leaders can encourage, the more successful the hub will be.
Schools can support hub leaders to create and distribute promotional material
- Hub leaders can submit articles to the school newsletter.
- Support your hub leaders to create and display posters, flyers and timetables in reception areas and in prep/junior/reception classrooms.
- Your school supports a multicultural community – consider translating your hub materials or have your hub leader host a newsletter translation program each week.
- Encourage hub leaders to highlight when activities are free or when food will be on offer.
- Timetables for your school’s hub can be distributed to classroom teachers.
- Hub leaders may also approach you to play a short promotional video about the hub at assembly.
- Encourage hub leaders to use social media, and promote your hub on the school’s own social accounts.
