ABOUT US
our story
We believe education is the key to generational change and a brighter future...
Educating Indigenous Children Yalari is a not-for-profit organisation that offers quality, secondary education scholarships at leading Australian boarding schools for Indigenous children from regional, rural and remote communities. We believe education is the key to generational change and a brighter future, and we are deeply committed to the ongoing success of our national program of scholarships and post-school opportunities. Since 2005, Yalari has been providing Indigenous children with full scholarships for their entire secondary school education. Strong and productive partnerships with 29 of Australia’s leading boarding schools are a cornerstone of our success. We aim to nurture the ‘whole’ child – giving everyone a chance to shine and lead in their own way by recognising their personal potential, not only those who are academically gifted or good at sport. To uphold our commitments to our scholars, we have a dedicated and passionate team of professionals throughout Australia, supporting our students, their families and our partner schools on a daily basis. We also have considerable expertise represented in our board members, our small management and administration team, and many dedicated volunteers who contribute their experience in a range of professions and disciplines.
Our students have many chances for life-changing experiences, through their education and boarding school experiences, travel and camps during school holidays, and involvement in Yalari fundraising activities. Through these experiences, their confidence and abilities bloom. Yalari students participate actively in all facets of school life; they share their talent, culture and stories enriching the experiences of their fellow students and the wider school community. Through education and empowerment, their ongoing connection to their families and communities, and their enduring connections to their schools, they will make a difference and help to bring about generational change. Positive future change begins with the actions we take today with our children, and the Yalari team is determined to see this change happen for our students. With the support of donors, sponsors and volunteers, Yalari brings together Indigenous students, their families and schools to provide a quality education at leading Australian boarding schools; and then further supports our students as they transition from a school environment to higher education, vocational training and employment.
Yalari, from the Birra Gubba Indigenous language group, means “child”. Founding Director Waverley Stanley was given permission to use the name by the late Grandfather “Blokey” Wilson, an elder from Waverley’s mother’s family in North Queensland. Yalari Annual Report - 2014

FOUNDING DIRECTOR “This wonderful experience has been the catalyst for the success, passion and direction in my life. All Yalari’s efforts are aimed at offering a similar chance for Indigenous children - and we believe they can achieve anything if given a go at a great education.”

director A Year of Achievements 2014 was set to be a busy year for all of us at Yalari and it certainly was! Llew and I travelled to South Africa and Tanzania in March for three weeks as I undertook my Churchill Fellowship. We visited The School of St Jude in Arusha Tanzania, Prestige College near Pretoria, Life College in Johannesburg and many townships in both Johannesburg and Capetown, South Africa. This was a defining moment for me personally as I fulfilled a lifetime dream of visiting Robben Island where my hero “Madiba” Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and the “Long Walk to Freedom’ manuscript was started in secrecy. Like many visitors to Robben Island it was moving, and a thought provoking experience for your spirit. Our success at Yalari has always been in genuine partnership with our students, their families, our boarding schools, sponsors, donors, volunteers and supporters all believing in the ideal to continue the empowerment process for our children through education. The growth of our student numbers at boarding schools and the number of our graduates meant we have further resourced ourselves with staff who are committed to our purpose and goals. It was therefore necessary to find a new home for our Yalari head office. In September we moved across the main highway to Helensvale (but still close enough to keep our telephone numbers and post office box!) After a couple of years of being very unsettled and moving around after the office fire, I can say we are finally settled and feeling comfortable in our new office. If you ever find yourself in Helensvale on the Gold Coast, the jug is always on for a cuppa. We welcomed Yalari Chairman; Mrs Mary Boydell who took over the chairmanship from Mr Mac Drysdale in March and we said goodbye to Mr Tim Oughton, who has been a Director on the board since 2007. Tim will be undertaking the position of Executive Principal at Kristin School Albany in Auckland, New Zealand. Thank you to Tim and his wife Heather for their unwavering support of our children at Scotch College Adelaide and for Yalari as a whole. Our children have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to attend some of the best boarding schools throughout Australia. I have often said that our students will not only get an education within the four walls of a classroom but also from the many and varied activities they experience. Sport, travel within Australia and overseas,
and volunteering for community organisations through their community service commitments are just some of the opportunities that will add value to their lives and expose them to a world full of opportunities. Our children are an inspiration to me and I’d like to share with you some of their achievements in 2014: •
Kayla Brown, first Indigenous School Captain at Calrossy in Tamworth;
•
Samuel Jackson Bolton from The Armidale School spent ten weeks in Quebec as part of the Round Square School International Baccalaureate;
•
Larissa Woosup and Lyric Hearn from Canberra Girls Grammar School selected as members of the National Indigenous Youth Parliament;
•
Rhiannon Revell-Blair from St Margaret’s in Brisbane was selected in the Australian Under 14 Rugby League team to tour the United Kingdom;
•
Tileah McGrady from Abbotsleigh in Sydney was selected in the Combined High Schools of NSW Under 18 touch football team;
•
Kyol Blakeney a Yalari Alumni who attended The Scots College in Sydney, elected as the President of the Students Union at Sydney University;
•
Five Yalari Alumni students, Shauna Sandow, Allira Searle, Tyson Holloway-Clark, Brandon Skeen and Brody Lelievre and our Pathways Manager, Matt Plant travelled to Antarctica over Christmas and the New Year.
This is just a snapshot of the some of the achievements of our current students and our Alumni, but all of our Yalari children are making a significant positive impact in their boarding schools and welcome the opportunity to continue their own individual journey towards the achievement of their dreams and goals. I am indebted to everyone who has believed in what we are doing in bringing about positive changes for Indigenous children through Yalari. We are all making a difference and a positive impact that will change lives for the better for generations to come.

OUR SCHOOLS
Yalari’s selection process for partner schools is aimed at ensuring our scholars are placed in the care of dedicated education professionals.
Each of our current partner schools across Australia has been chosen through their alignment to Yalari’s vision, values and philosophy and with the knowledge that a caring and supportive environment is provided for our students. Additional support is also received from the broader school community (sporting clubs, other students and their parents, teachers etc.) which further assist our students to enjoy their boarding school experience.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM At the heart of our programs is the Rosemary Bishop Indigenous Education Scholarship, awarded to students for their entire secondary schooling at one of our partner schools.

Yalari Annual Report - 2014
programs Rosemary Bishop Indigenous Education Scholarship Today, all Yalari secondary students are recipients of the Rosemary Bishop Indigenous Education Scholarship, which is funded by support from a large group of individuals, organisations, companies, philanthropic foundations and government departments. Yalari’s founding director Waverley Stanley named the secondary scholarship program in honour of his teacher who had supported him in gaining a scholarship opportunity to attend Toowoomba Grammar School in Queensland. Each year Yalari offers up to 50 full boarding school scholarships. The scholarship is reviewed annually and, all being well, is for a student’s entire secondary school education. It covers the financial difference between the school discount, the ABSTUDY designated allowance and the scheduled boarding and tuition fees. Our scholarships are available for Indigenous children from regional, rural and remote communities and towns throughout Australia who are commencing their first year of secondary education. In 2014 Yalari awarded 36 new scholarships to student’s representing 28 communities around the country.
The selection of our scholars is based on: • Academic effort and school references • Primary School attendance rates • Participation in leadership, sport and extracurricular activities at school and in their communities • Family support to attend boarding • Performance in interviews with Yalari staff and school staff Yalari scholarships are applicationbased through positive engagement with families, schools and communities. Students are selected to ensure they will receive the support and care necessary to have every opportunity and capability of completing their secondary school education.

STUDENT DEVELOPMENT Our students have many chances for life changing experiences. From their education and boarding school journey to the varied Yalari activities offered throughout the year, they continue to build in confidence and ability.
Years 7 & 8 Orientation Camp Yalari’s annual Orientation Camp is held prior to the start of the school year at one of our partner schools. New students get a glimpse into boarding school life as they experience set meal times, sleeping in dorms and keeping to a schedule. Various topics are raised and discussed - including issues like bullying and home sickness, to better equip our students for life away from home and high school study. Orientation Camp is compulsory for first and second year students. Many of our volunteers and supporters give up holiday time each year to join us as group leaders and facilitators at the camp, and lasting friendships are formed over the course of the week. In 2014, The Southport School on the Gold Coast kindly hosted the camp, welcoming 36 new students, 35 returning students and 11 Junior Leaders.

programs
Yalari offers an unprecedented level of support for all of our scholarship students. The time we invest in building relationships and getting to know our Yalari families is a key strength of our unique model. This approach contributes to our high retention rates and the ability to deal with the inevitable challenges along the way.
Year 10 Pay-It-Forward
Year 10 Trinity Camp
Yalari Year 10 students have been fundraising throughout the year as part of the ‘Pay-it-forward’ initiative to raise money towards a Yalari Scholarship for another student.
The Trinity College at The University of Melbourne hosted Yalari’s Year 10 camp for its second year from Friday February 14 through to Sunday February 16.
Pay-it-forward is about continuing a good deed for someone else and is a good opportunity for Yalari students to assist another Indigenous young person pursue their education.
This weekend provided an opportunity for students to gain an insight into university life including a welcome tour of the campus on arrival and attending leadership, cultural and creative activities in university halls and lecture theatres.
Students from St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School in Brisbane combined fashion and food as part of their creative ideas for raising funds and successfully contributed over $800 to the initiative. The Glennie School Toowoomba girls put pen to paper as part of their fundraising by designing beautiful line art greeting cards. The designs showcased their talents and told stories about their culture, communities and families and helped the girls raise $1,900. Yalari scholars from St Peter’s College Adelaide put on a sausage sizzle for their class mates and the boys from St Ignatius’ College Riverview Sydney raised their money by hosting a cake stall.
Year 12 Graduation The annual Yalari Graduation Ceremony is a celebration of the students’ achievements during their time at boarding school and the commitment they have made to completing Year 12. The ceremony was held at the Royal Military College, Duntroon. Use of this beautiful facility was made possible by long-term Yalari supporter and President of the Podmore Foundation, Associate Professor Bob Breen. Following the ceremony most of the graduates joined Yalari staff and made their way to Jindabyne, in the NSW Snowy Mountains for their graduation celebrations.
Year 9 Central Australia Camps In the June/July school holidays Yalari held its Outback Camps for Year 9 students. The camps are held separately for boys and girls and are a chance for the students to reconnect with their year group, share their cultural knowledge and experiences, and interact with people from remote Indigenous communities. They come away from the camp with a deeper understanding of the diversity of Aboriginal culture, the challenges many communities face and how fortunate they are themselves to be receiving their education.
Year 11 Horizons Camp The 2014 Horizons camp was hosted by the University of Queensland’s Business School for Yalari’s Year 11 students from Friday February 7 through to Sunday February 9 in Brisbane. Students travelled from around the country to participate in workshops, activities, presentations and special projects over the three days and experienced living on a university campus.

PATHWAYS & ALUMNI The Yalari Post Schools Program provides a formal structure for support and guidance for Yalari students after they finish their secondary school education to assist them transition to higher education, vocational training and employment. We are serious about generational change, so we will continue to create opportunities for our scholars to move beyond school into tertiary education and real jobs.

programs Life Awaits... Yalari Alumni It has been another incredibly productive and rewarding year for the Pathways & Alumni Program. With 82 alumni at the beginning of 2014, we proudly welcomed a further 27 graduates in December taking the total number of Alumni to 109. We believe the success of the program is attributed to its unique structure which offers one-on-one support, advice and guidance. The Pathways Manager begins working with students while they are still at school giving them a greater understanding of career pathways and the benefits of planning the transition beyond school. Students are offered insight about university options, apprenticeship and traineeship information, gap-year decisions and employment. The program also incorporates many opportunities and pathways specific to Indigenous students.
2014 Alumni Highlights The first Yalari graduates from St Margaret’s Brisbane, The Armidale School, Calrossy Tamworth, Kinross Wolaroi School Orange, The Southport School and MLC Melbourne.
Students go on to a range of activities after boarding school, which reflects the quality education they have received. Current activities include study and vocations in aeronautical engineering, aquaculture, paramedic science, construction management, the Australian Federal Police and enlistment in the Royal Australian Navy. Nursing and teaching continue to be popular choices for Yalari graduates, which will have a profound impact on the health and education of many Indigenous people in the future. We have continued to foster relationships with a number of universities to develop pathways and support for our students and we are delighted to see a growing number of

Herbert Smith Freehills also supported our Graduation Ceremony and the development of Pathways Workshops for our Year 12 students. We would also like to thank MTV Networks Australia and the IT Newcomb Foundation who have chosen to support individual students at university. Thank you to all our supporters for your generosity - it is instrumental in providing opportunities and support to the Yalari graduates. The Yalari alumni are an exciting group of welleducated, confident young people who have worked hard and seized opportunities. It is through their own dedication and the support of their family and school, that they will go on to make positive contributions as Australians.

Working with young, brave and enthusiastic Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who are passionate and proud of their culture, who are motivated to educate and be educated in some of Australia’s leading boarding schools.
LOU WILSON - Development Coordinator I feel as though I am doing my small part in something much bigger.
TAWNEE ANDERSON - Student Support Officer I love building bonds with the kids and their families, and seeing their growth through their Scholarships from children into empowered young adults
KERRIE TICKNER - Bookkeeper

LLEW MULLINS - Scholarship Manager
Getting to work with so many different people throughout Australia. We allow people to be the best they can be. Regardless of what they do in the rest of their lives, we see people's absolute generosity and purpose.
LEANDA COOPER - Business Manager
After 20 years working in the corporate arena it is great to work in an environment where the bottom line is not about someone making a profit but about someone getting an education – a true gift that lasts a lifetime. It is so much easier to get up in the morning when you are a part of something that is so much bigger than just yourself.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE
Taneale Lawton, Year 12 student at St Margaret’s School Brisbane, was asked to write to the younger Yalari students in her school. Her story revealed a special message. The words of a 17 year old girl may be worthless but from my perspective it makes a difference. I have been on Yalari since I was 13 years old and now, I’m continuing in my final year of schooling at St Margaret’s Anglican girls school. When Waverley and Llew first came to Charleville and interviewed me at my house I was extremely nervous and perplexed. These people in my kitchen were the beginning of endless opportunities. I was quite emotional in ways of butterflies making your stomach weird and tingly. I remember, distinctly, Llew asking me to write an essay telling Waverley and herself why I should be chosen to be a Yalari scholar. I looked at mum trying to connect to her telepathic mind, HELP! HELP! When I’m put on the spot without anything to say I start to smile. So I was there, white teeth glittering through my open-mouth, ‘yeah sure I’ll give it a go’. So I went to the lounge room and started writing. I started as usual, where I’m from, my background blah blah … but then I started writing about what I wanted to contribute to Yalari. They gave me this amazing opportunity for a greater education and I didn’t really know what affect that would have on me until now. Until I went to St Margaret’s for the first time on the 25th January in 2010. Until I met my first friend that has and still is putting up with my goofy self. Until I realised how funny black people are when telling a story. Until I realised just how we were perceived in today’s society. Until I realised I wasn’t the only Indigenous child wanting to take a stance. How alone I felt was completely indescribable and fiercely frightening. I was on the tip of the iceberg and really really homesick. But just smiling, just being me got me a friend and then another and another until we were all hysterical laughing in one of the many dormitories in the boarding house oblivious to our families miles away. I’ll say it to anyone I meet, boarding school is a great experience that is filled with wonderful memories, stocking moments
and endless friends. If I were to be back in Charleville attending the high school, my future would be limited. You know why? Because the education there compared to here is limited. My career pathway is focused by my knowledge and understanding of life. I would have fewer choices there than I have here. Yeah it’s scary taking that step to a place you’ve never been and wouldn’t think you would ever go but look, you’re here and you are with me. One of the 186 students on a Yalari Scholarship attempting to make a difference. It’s about reconciliation and empowering young Indigenous children. We are the future of our people. As much as we seek knowledge and understanding from our elders, whom I respect, it is our time to shine and finding knowledge and understanding only comes from education. So forget the small things; fights, homesick, homework, chapel, sheet-change day etc. AND THINK BEYOND THAT. I believe you have come here for a reason, the same reason I came here. We are the voice, and we are tired of being categorised as ‘these people’. You and I together, will make a difference … all I ask is you give it a go. It’s my last year and all I think about is the future. I’m use to going back to school, prepping for the real world. But next year, there will be no school and I will be out there. I think of school making a difference, but I’m at the stage of my life where I have to start applying my knowledge and understanding to life and execute it in my career. I thought I would always go to university and study drama or creative writing because I love reading books and watching movies - my interests have evolved (just like yours will when your time comes) and I have found other things that interest me. So please, this is me writing - Taneale Lawton, Yr 12 just down the stairs from you - and I’m asking you if you just give everything a go because no matter what there will be someone watching you, and someone is proud of you too. Taneale Lawton
