STUDENT SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT Yalari’s dedicated student support team works to ensure each child is provided with the necessary one-on-one support required for success at boarding school. From scholarship selection, transition and boarding duration to personal growth and development, the team is with the students every step of the way. The Yalari student support, development and wellbeing teams ran a series of camps and activities throughout 2019, all aimed at developing student confidence, leadership and resilience, strengthening their support networks, providing mentoring and coaching, and ultimately equipping them with the skills required to reach graduation.
2019 Student Support and Development Snapshot Orientation Camp “Winanggaay Nguurrang” or “the camp of thinking and understanding” was held at The Southport School on the Gold Coast in January 2019. The four-day orientation camp prepared students for the transition from primary education to a boarding school environment.
There are no words to express our gratitude for all that Yalari has done and continues to do. We can only hope to make you proud with continuing to make a difference in this world.
