Those groups which are visible to each other, and
supportive of each other show the most positive views of
the self AND the most positive views of 'Australian*
society.
In planning there is a choice between
1). an enclave situation, 2) an integrated situation
31 a segregated situation.
I would argue for 1) or 3). on
the grounds of the possibility
of cohesion of a group necessary to build identity.
I would opt, for the secondary students I have in mind
for 1) on the basis of the proved success of the Torrens
A.T.E.P. programme and the S.A.I,T. programme, both
developed for students at the tertiary level.
3) might well be better for the total primary school
population in order to provide positive models, positive
theorizing with which students may Interact, and where
they are initially protected from prejudice and rejection.
The present proposal is one of urgency to provide normal
entry for Aboriginal students to proceed to higher education,
so that Aboriginal people may exercise autonomy and self
determination in organising their future, rather'than white
peopIe.
