Supporting successful educational pathways of First Nations students

这项研究的目的是制定战略，防止第一民族学生从小学过渡到中学时入学率急剧下降。该项目预计将产生有效的文化嵌入式支持战略。在与社区，行业合作伙伴和学校的合作伙伴关系，我们建议咨询，共同设计和评估来自同一社区谁已经成功地达到高年级的小学生同侪辅导的有效性。其结果是对学生的经历和持续出勤率和成绩进行评价。显著的好处是学生的持续学校参与和学术成功。文化和经济利益是为所有澳大利亚人。

The aim of this study is to develop strategies to prevent the steep drop in school attendance rates of First Nation students as they transition from primary to secondary school. The project expects to generate effective culturally embedded support strategies. In partnership with communities, industry partners and schools we propose to consult, codesign and assess the effectiveness of peer-mentoring of primary school students by those from the same community who have successfully reached senior grades. The outcome is the evaluation of students’ experiences and ongoing attendance and attainments. Significant benefits are for students’ ongoing school engagement and academic success. Cultural and economic benefits are for all Australians.
