Abstract
This final report provides a macro analysis of site-specific action research projects that were conducted during 2012 into issues of multicultural education in each of the 14 project schools. These schools were a diverse mix of: primary/secondary, high LBOTE/low LBOTE, high SES/low SES and urban/rural. Multicultural education includes a range of programs: ESL, parent engagement, intercultural understanding and anti-racism, designed not only to meet the needs of LBOTE students and their families but to equip all students with the necessary capacities to navigate the culturally complex world in which they live. The rationale for the inclusion of these very different types of schools in RMRME was to ascertain not only how multicultural education was understood and practised across a full range of NSW schools but also how they would then undertake rethinking these processes through their involvement in the project.
