Health to implement a project aimed at integrating a number of services being accessed by Indigenous young people and their families. The project is beginning to suggest signs of success and will, again, be supported by a core team of officers in 2009.
The Department of Education and Training continues to implement initiatives such as the school leadership in Indigenous education and Indigenous literacy and numeracy officer support for targeted kindergarten to year 4 students. These initiatives are funded by the ACT government.
In the 2009-10 budget funds have been allocated to provide scholarships for Indigenous students in the senior years of schooling. This initiative will build on existing achievements and support the retention of Indigenous students to the successful completion of year 12. It will also provide pathway options for Indigenous young people into higher education and employment.
I commend the performance report on Indigenous education for the 2008 calendar year to the Assembly.
