Plain sailing for Jilkminggan school students

Jilkminggan school principal Des Barritt “Today we will get about 11 students who over the last 11 weeks have had a 100% attendance and their reward for that attendance will be to go on a boat trip. “Obviously they live on the river but no one in the community actually owns a boat, so for them to go out on a boat is a really big thing,” Des said. “So we use this as a reward for the kids that are attending and that’s done with the local Indigenous ranger group.” Lee Doctor Mangarrayi rangers “So you all should go to school all day from Monday to Friday, all the way. Then you can go to college and learn more and come back and get a job like me." Adrian Doctor attendance supervisor for Jilkminggan School “It shows that you can get a good education but still keep your culture,” Adrian said. “When I was younger I went to school and learnt the white fella way but when I came back here from college I had an education but I still had my culture.” Des Barritt “It’s had a pretty big impact at Jilkminggan, primarily it’s increased our attendance which is one of the goals. But secondly it’s helped the school develop a lot better connections with the community. “I’ve definitely got passion and we can make a change, a determined consistent approach to attendance strategies in communities that is what I would like to see. It’s all about trying to make things consistent so everyone knows the rules and knows what to expect and just keep plodding on, and we are making headway."
