Shaping a Hope-Filled Future: Warraymaylaya 2026
Recently, four of our Year 10 students, accompanied by Aboriginal Education Assistant (AEA) Ebony McGrady, travelled to Sydney for the Warraymaylaya Year 10–12 Culture & Career Pathway Retreat. Joining peers from across the region, our students embraced the theme "Hope-Filled Future" through an incredible week of connection, culture, and career exploration.
Retreat Highlights:
- Pathways & Education: Students explored university entry options at the UTS Jumbunna Indigenous Education Unit and discovered diverse conservation careers during a hands-on session at Taronga Zoo.
- Culture & History: The group took part in a powerful Welcome and Smoking Ceremony before tackling the Harbour Bridge Climb. They also visited the Archibald Prize Exhibition, Tony Albert’s moving Yininmadyemi military memorial, and the immersive Sistine Chapel exhibition at St Mary’s Cathedral.
- Sport & Leadership: A behind-the-scenes tour of Shark Park gave students the chance to meet NRL Coach Craig Fitzgibbon and NRLW star Jada Taylor, who shared inspiring words on resilience and leadership.
Proud of Our Team A huge thank you to Ebony McGrady for giving her time to support this valuable trip. Most of all, congratulations to our four fantastic students, who demonstrated exceptional maturity, respect, and pride as ambassadors for our school.
