NSLA– Investigating Alternative Curriculum Pathways SDD Term 3 2011 (School Identifications have been removed) Liz Hemmings New School Leaving Age Coordinator Western Sydney
NSW NSLA Policy A child who has completed year 10 and is below the age of 17 years must continue his or her schooling unless he or she participates on a full-time basis in: approved education training, or paid work or a combination of approved education or training and paid work (the child must be above 15 years to be in employment).  Parents of a child who is subject to these new provisions can be prosecuted if their child does not satisfy this requirement.
Why have states introduced later school leaving ages? “There is compelling Australian and international research which highlights the enhanced life choices and outcomes for people who have completed higher levels of education and training. The research demonstrates that early school leavers are two and a half times more likely to be unemployed, earn lower wages and have poorer quality of life outcomes.”  Excerpt from preamble of Raising the School Age by Trevor Fletcher, July 2009.
Changing Directions Video: Changing school paradigms http://youtu.be/zDZFcDGpL4U
Challenges for Schools Greater diversity of student abilities in senior school. Disengaged students. Reluctant or poor attendees. Procedures surrounding NSLA.
UWS Research Project Conducted by Professor Margaret Vickers A research project about the NSLA 2009 – 2011. 90 students across SW Sydney, Central Coast and Riverina Targeted students who wanted to leave school.
One of the most important findings emerging from the study is that positive relationships between students and teachers appear to boost student engagement and academic motivation: this emerges from the quantitative data, the student interviews, and the teacher interviews.   Findings
