Fair share of grants

Ettalong Public School has received a "fair share" of grants and other State and Federal funding to assist in the education of all students, according to school principal Mr Colin Wallis

Mr Wallis said this included money from the Priority Schools Program and the Schools in Partnership funding.

"Although Schools in Partnership is specifically designed to help us bridge the gap between the learning outcomes of indigenous and non indigenous students, it also is having a tremendous impact upon all students learning in our school," Mr Wallis said.

"It has facilitated the advantage of having a specialist literacy and numeracy teacher to assist all classes and to up-skill our teachers."
