WAC | RAISING | Knowing, Doing and Being for young Aboriginal women

[Edited extract from public address]

Providing a holistic education and boarding experience for young Aboriginal women in the middle years of schooling (Years 7-12) who come from Aboriginal communities in urban, regional and remote Australia.

Worawa provides a curriculum, student management and general learning environment that offers a real alternative to mainstream educational institutions. The residential component changes the “6-7 hour a day and then return home” approach of the conventional school to broader concept of care and development. It enables the implementation of an Education – Culture –Wellbeing Model. Students live and study in a supportive and nurturing environment that fosters positive cultural identity and individual potential.

Worawa provides a unique model as an alternative to mainstream approaches through an integrated Education, Well-Being and Culture programme. Worawa uses ‘Two Way’ Learning; that is a combination of both mainstream education and Aboriginal culture, knowledge, values and belief.
