These statistics show a dramatic increase in the number of
Koorie students in the secondary school system after the introduction
of the Aboriginal Study Grants Scheme in 1967 and then the Aboriginal
Secondary Grants Scheme in 1968. Year levels have been changed
from Form 1-6 to Years to reflect the changes to these year levels.
