25.01.2022 Coloured pencil by our talented student Always Was, Always Will Be., 2020 By: Bon’Naia Hinton School: Cape York Girl Academy... "The background of Australia represents our land on which we live, work, learn and grow. The flags represent our traditional custodians that share the land. The Torres Strait Island woman and Aboriginal man in front of each other’s flags show that we work together and not against each other. Indigenous people work and thrive as one nation rather than divided in our own cultures." #alwayswasalwayswillbe

16.01.2022 "I have become a role model to those who look up to me, as a big sister to all the girls here and as a mother to my child. I feel so blessed for having mob all being part of my life and giving me a hand taking good care of my baby Elicyah. Thank you so much for teaching me and giving me the advice on how I can be the best mother I can be." - Raheena Manmurulu, 2020 Graduate

13.01.2022 "Girl Academy has definitely shaped me into the person I am today. My 3 years at Girl Academy wasn’t easy at first but I have grown so much and learnt a lot about being a bigger and better person. There was a lot of time I wanted to give up on education and go home but the one thing that made me keep pushing myself was my girls at school. I wanted to be a good role model for the younger girls and show them that even when life gets tough just take it one step at a time and never punch yourself through life. I am going to miss my sisters so much and I just want to thank you all for always looking out for me. Thank you for all the memories we made together, I will never forget them." - Aretha Bani, 2020 Graduate

02.01.2022 "I remember arriving at the Girl Academy in 2018 like it was yesterday. I was feeling excited and ready to finish off my last few years of school and promised myself I would give it 100% from start to finish. The last two years has been the most wonderful and stressful years I have had, through it all I have kept the promise I had made to myself in the beginning. Learning new things, gaining more knowledge, stepping out of my comfort zone and completing certificates, if it wasn’t for the Girl Academy I would not of have achieved these things. Girl Academy has really helped me build my confidence and spirit strong in school and for the next chapter of my life." - Esther Brim, 2020 Graduate
