Extract

The purpose of this project is to implement strategies that will empower Indigenous Australians in mainstream education; specifically, at Chatswood Hills State School, Springwood. The proposed plan will continue to be implemented over a three-year period with on-going development expected beyond that time. My primary role will be as facilitator in initiating appropriate strategies. As a permanent teacher on the staff of the school, I will also participate in some or all of the programs, as requested.
