Single funding source
School initiatives may be funded from a single funding source.
The single funding source example demonstrates the use of socio-economic background (equity loading) as a single funding source to resource a literacy program in a central school setting.

The national LLPs were used as a whole-school strategy ranging across K-12 (central school) providing maximum student learning through the establishment of clear learning goals for individual students.
- 100% of students in Stage 1 have demonstrated growth in reading fluency.
- 84% of Year 10 students were able to demonstrate the LiS5 indicators within the Speaking and Listening element.
