To provide for future data extraction, expenditure is to be recorded in OneSchool against OneSchool cost centre/s LSU*, SSU* and/or WSU*, where * is a school determined character A-Z or a number 0-9. This 'SU' coding logic should not be used for other school program budgets.
CTG - Indigenous Education funds are to be used by schools to invest in the following initiatives that have been identified to provide a small number of targeted initiatives for regions and schools to adopt and modify where necessary to meet their specific place-based needs.
These initiatives and associated priority areas are designed as proactive interventions (deliberately intervening in order to influence future retention and attendance and prevent undesirable education outcomes). They identify what the system or whole school can do to maximise learning rather than concentrating on or waiting for poor education performance.
It is intended that this is the definitive list of initiatives that schools will undertake using these supplementary specific Indigenous education funds.
The intent of the initiatives will not change; however, at a school level the scope will vary depending on the school's unique circumstances and with that the level of investment.
Initiatives/priority areas include:
Initiatives/priority areas include student health and wellbeing.
Initiatives/priority areas include:
Initiatives/priority areas include culture and engagement.
