Schools Performance Indicator Handbook

The purpose of this handbook

This handbook is intended to assist schools and school systems in fulfilling their reporting requirements under clause 10 of their agreement (“the Agreement”) with the Commonwealth (through the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST)).  The Agreement enables funding for education providers under section 10 or 11 of the Indigenous Education (Targeted Assistance) Act 2000 (“the Act”).  This funding supplements mainstream education funding and is provided to improve educational outcomes for Indigenous Australians and to further the goals of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Policy (AEP).

Under clause 10 of the Agreement education providers and other bodies must provide Performance Reports to DEST in accordance with specified requirements.  One of those requirements is that Performance Reports must comply with this Performance Indicator Handbook.

This Performance Indicator Handbook sets out for each standard Performance Indicator how schools and school systems must report against the Performance Indicator.  The specific Performance Indicators that each provider must report against are specified in the Schedules to the provider’s Agreement.

The following pages provide a User Guide on how to use this Performance Indicator Handbook.
