Connected Alumni
Remote & Regional Communities
Our 480 alumni are powerfully connected and have access to programs to support leadership, professional and personal growth. These empowered group of leaders are change makers in their own community and wider Australia.
In 10 years, we will have over 1000 educated, confident and contributing Indigenous young people, each with their own spheres of influence and impact. This is how generational change works, and this is what reconciliation looks like.
