"The Northern Territory Government will develop four new sporting academies for girls. The Education Minister Chris Burns said the sporting centres would be set up with $2m in Federal funding under the Sporting Chance program, $2m from the Northern Territory Government and $2m in private sponsorship.
“These academies will use sport as a vehicle to engage Indigenous girls in secondary education, with the aim of improving educational outcomes,” Dr Burns said.
“Education is at the heart of our Territory 2030 plan. Increasing school participation among our Indigenous students is an important target within that plan.""
