I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) The
Department of Education's Aboriginal cultural standards framework
provides an expectation that principals involve local Aboriginal community
members where possible. School leaders are responsible for the recruitment and
selection of staff for their schools. It is expected that principals conduct
selection processes in a culturally appropriate way.
