It is a small group of interested people, directly involved in the program who provide support for the School Coordinator. As mentioned earlier there has been widespread consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait organisations in the initial development of the program and this has continued throughout its development. Two of the three NT coordinators of the program are of Aboriginal descent, as are most of the school coordinators and mentors. Role models from the local Aboriginal and Islander community are used extensively in the program and as workshop presenters. For example, a publication You Don't Get Degrees in Weet-Bix Boxes has been developed to document young Aboriginal people from the NT who have succeeded at school and tertiary study.
Parental participation is also an integral part of the program.
This will include gathering responses from all stakeholders in the program. The high level of support from Aboriginal organisations and the Aboriginal community in general. The high level of Departmental and DEET support for the program. That school's assume ownership of the program so that it becomes an integral part of the school philosophy and activities. At this stage schools are looking to the NT coordinators for guidance and support and to organise school, regional and Territory activities.
