(1)-(6) There are no special programs offered on a state-wide basis for 13 and 14 year old students who are disengaged or at risk of becoming disengaged from education.
Instead funds are provided to schools through their school grant. In addition, some schools receive special purpose funding which principals may utilise to meet the needs of 13 and 14 year old students, as well as students of other ages, at risk of becoming disengaged.
For example, some schools receive a Behaviour Management allocation within their School Support Programs Resource Allocation funding. This is allocated based on the school's socio-economic index.
Other program funding allocated by regions includes:
· Behaviour Management in Schools
· Challenging Behaviour
· Retention and Participation
· Aboriginal Attendance Program
· Substance Abuse Program and District Aboriginal Programs.
This funding is allocated on a case by case basis and reflects that the educational needs of secondary school students vary. The extent of disengagement is not uniform across the state and programs need to be tailored to meet individual circumstances.
