ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ

The College is proud to support Yalari as a tertiary partner, helping Yalari’s aim of offering education scholarships for Indigenous students from regional, rural and remote communities.

Yalari, a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2005 by Indigenous leader Waverley Stanley and his wife Llew Mullins, recently brought 30 Year 10 students from across Australia to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ for a weekend camp and goal setting for their remaining school years.

Activities for the students included a tour of the campus, leadership, cultural and creative activities at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ and the University, and lots of community building. The key messages were to stay at school and dare to dream of university graduation one day.

Resident ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ student Tyson Holloway-Clarke (Honours student in History at Melbourne) welcomed the students on their journey and inspired them with his story as a Yalari graduate.

Pictured is Tyson welcoming Jazleen Debusch, from Queensland, who will commence the BA Extended program this year at the University of Melbourne and be a resident at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ.

Yalari now funds more than 160 students to attend boarding schools across the nation.
