Notes:	General Overview: This Queensland paper presents a school-based violence prevention program at Woorabinda, an Aboriginal community in central Queensland. The program is established through a partnership between the Woorabinda Women’s Shelter (‘Gumbi Gunya’); Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence Research (CDFVR) at Central Queensland University and the Woorabinda State Primary School. Objective: The paper gives an overview of the processes used in developing, implementing and evaluating this program. Discussion: The program activities are based around a life-sized kangaroo mascot called ‘Koora’ and a series of stories. The activities explore respectful ways of solving problems and include themes of respect for self, culture and elders; reconnection with Aboriginal culture; and cultural pride. Lessons and challenges are also presented. Key community development principles in Indigenous communities are used. Conclusion: The Koora project demonstrates the capacity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous collaboration, and calls for Indigenous centred partnerships in making collective expertise, which has been the model for successful partnership developed between the Woorabinda community, CDFVR and the primary school.
