Aboriginal Independent Community Schools

http://aics.wa.edu.au/
Aboriginal Independent Community Schools website out of Western Australia. This site describes the work of the central support unit that works to help with the delivery of education from this network of independently established community schools. These schools are all community-developed and locally run and managed. This site has some interesting information concerning the types of cultural relevance to the programming, as well as common curricular frameworks for literacy and numeracy. It serves as an example of how Indigenous communities may go about establishing their own culturally-relevant school programs, while maintaining common links to secure ongoing centrally-delivered support and funding. The site also features a showcase of projects that have resulted in positive outcomes.
