AISSA MANAGES AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT TARGETED PROGRAMS

The SA Independent Schools Targeted Programs Authority Inc (The Authority) provides support for Independent schools in South Australia to access Commonwealth funds for the following Commonwealth Targeted Programs:

• Strategic Assistance for improving Student Outcomes Program, including Literacy, Numeracy and Special Education.
• Languages Program, including National Asian Languages and Studies in Australian Schools (NALSAS) and Languages Other Than English (LOTE).
• ESL New Arrivals Program.
• Country Areas Program.

 

The Authority also develops and implements a communication strategy to offer schools timely and relevant advice regarding available funds and how to access them. These programs lead to a significant increase in staff at the AISSA who provide services to member schools to address key areas of Federal Government Reform for which schools were accountable.
