3.7: Vulnerable Students
Support for vulnerable students. Other Information:
To ensure that students have the best chance to complete their education, additional money will be provided to the School
Equity Funds to support students in schools serving communities of low socio-economic status. The additional resources will
enable these schools to address the effects of disadvantage on student learning, especially in literacy and numeracy. Additional
funds will also be provided to meet the needs of increasing numbers of students and young children with disabilities in ACT
public schools, including the growing number of students with complex needs. Through further support, Volunteering ACT will
continue to deliver the program Students Participating in Community Enterprises (SPICE), which will be available to all students
between the ages of 12 to 15 years at high school in the ACT who are at risk of leaving school before completing their Year
10 certificate.
