The assessment program, conducted annually at years 5 and 7 in urban schools and at ages 10 years and above in non-urban schools, monitors achievement in English and mathematics. In 1991, nearly 4,000 urban students and 1,700 non-urban students participated in the testing program. Findings reveal a significant improvement in the achievement of urban students in years 5 and 7 in mathematics in 1991 compared with 1990. Fundamental changes in the reading test mate it impossible to compare the two years. However, evidence suggests that urban school functional literacy and reading comprehension was good, but was not as good in the non-urban schools, where many students appeared unable to perform satisfactorily in tasks required for Stages 4 and 5 of reading and Stage 4 of mathematics.

It is done not only on NPWS managed lands, but right across New South Wales. This chapter is about conservation management in its N Graham/NPWS broadest sense and includes activities through which the NPWS is contributing to the achievement of NSW Biodiversity Strategy objectives. Working with Aboriginal communities The NPWS works with Aboriginal communities to achieve the protection of natural and cultural heritage through mechanisms that also deliver social and economic benefits. In the north of the state, the NPWS continued to consult with the Bundjalung and Githabul communities in order to improve NPWS management of areas and ensure its sensitivity to cultural issues. Steering groups have been formed for Mount Warning (Wollumbin) and Bundjalung national parks which will focus on developing NPWS Fire Management Officer Martin O’Connell and co-management agreements for these two parks. This process is important in Arakwal Community elders Auntie Linda Vidler and promoting the cultural significance of parks and reserves in the area.

    CANfflS1!flA 1UfrllWALKliMG CLUIBS INC. NIEWflIETTIEIQ ITPA Box 160, Canberra, R.C.T. 2601 Registered by Australia Post; Publication number NBF1 1859 VOLUME 25 MARCH 1988 NUMBER 3 President's Pnttle At the last committee meeting members raised concerns about the level of awareness of first aid when bushwalking. On a recent day walk to Ettrema, one participant received a minor injury which required a number of party members to delve into their packs for various antiseptic creams, bandages etc. While there is an expectation that all who participate on Club walks Cand on any other trips for that matter) carry their own first aid requirements, it is often the case that items must be provided by others, often the walk leader. Whilst the odd band-aid causes little financial strain, items such as pressure bandages for sprains etc. are quite expensive to replace. Thus, the committee believes that where people have had to assist others on Club walks by using such relatively expensive first aid consumables, the Club should reimburse that person the replacement cost. On a related matter we are hoping to provide interested Club members with the opportunity to attend a St. John's Ambulance first aid course. By doing so as a group, it should be possible to concentrate on those first aid matters of particular relevance to bushwalking. Details will be published in later ITs when arrangements and costs have been established. Greg Ellis Concerning Conservation you will now all be aware of the new parks proposed by the Unsworth Government for the Eden area.
