| Purpose The purpose of this SRA is to provide a fence for the children's recreational area, and to plant trees to reduce dust. Shared Responsibilities The Lajamanu Indigenous Community, families and individuals will provide 10-12 volunteers to complete the fencing; identify long-term truant students and work to ensure that they attend school; and ensure that children play within the safe recreation area. The Australian Government, through the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Department of Health and Ageing and the Department of Education, Science and Training will provide a total of $50,000 for the purposes of this SRA. Greening Australia will provide a paid employee to manage the project. Performance Indicators The school principal will provide monthly reporting on school attendance. The SRA will also be monitored by the Katherine Indigenous Coordination Centre, and the workshop 'Hoops for Health Basketball and Healthy Lifestyle' workshops will only be attended by those volunteers helping with the building of the fence. | ||
