Thesis abstract:

«p»There are already well documented structural inequalities in both the level of resourcing available to different sectors of scholing in Australia and also their enrolment responsibilities and obligations. This study is using corpus linguistics to analyse how comprehensive public schools are represented over 40 years in the media, and whether this also is reflective of the structural inequalities. The second part of the study is semi-structured interviews with principals to see how they frame success, and overall if the representation of them in the media is reflective of this. «/p» «p» «/p»
