=Sustaining Outcomes Beyond the Project=

The Migrant Education wiki is now firmly embedded in our program as a resource which is accessed by all students and teachers for information, learning resources and language activities and assessment. The resources produced this year will continue to be accessed on the wiki as a regular part of classroom activities, particularly for newly-arrived migrants and learners in our Special Preparatory Program for very newly-arrived humanitarian entrants.

As mentioned above, we have had strong interest from settlement service providers in Hobart in future partnerships to produce information resources for their services, involving our learners in production. For example, a project in partnership with the Cancer Council to make a podcast about Being Sunsmart is already planned for January 2011.
