Student Successes

Indigenous Winter School

Year 12 student Nyassa Wright has been notified as a successful applicant for the Nura Gila Indigenous Winter School at the University of New South Wales.

The program runs from July 3 to July 8 and involves an extensive timetable which includes three full faculty days in Nyassa’s chosen area (Science), academic sessions, cultural activities, excursions and night activities.

The school aims to assist students to identify their path of interest and further study in that field.  Nyassa will join approximately 100 Indigenous students from around the country and we wish her well for what will be an exciting opportunity and insight into the life of a university student.​
