25.01.2022 Happy International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. This year considers the theme of resilience and how First Nations people’s are banding together to fight COVID-19. Let’s use today as always, to learn from each other. #strongpeoples #strongfutures

21.01.2022 Congratulations to the 2020 Ganbina Adrian Appo OAM Youth of the Year, Rae-Nee Roberts! Well done on your achievements in 2020 and all the best for the future. Here are some words of advice from Rae-Nee... I encourage all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Youth to strive for the best and give everything a go, as daunting as the experience may be. I believe if don’t you give it a go, you will never know! Stepping outside your comfort zone and experiencing new things is key for success and being able to evolve.

04.01.2022 Our Possum Skin Cloak has arrived! In September our Youth Leadership Program participants attended our Virtual Youth Leadership Summit. With a focus on personal values, cultural identity and strength, goal setting and mindset, the week was packed with some serious soul searching and reflection on connection. One of the activities produced this absolute beauty....which we are blessed to receive during #NAIDOCWeek. Shout out to Bangerang Cultural Centre Isaiah Wala Connections and @themindsetproject for their involvement in the summit. Much love

02.01.2022 Virtual Tertiary Information Session for Year 12 Indigenous students.

02.01.2022 We're here to support you to succeed! Following the announcement that Victorian students will return to school as remote learners in Term 2, we wanted to reach out and let you know we aren't going anywhere. The Ganbina team are here to help you navigate these changes and make sure you're all set up to learn and succeed this year. If you have any concerns, please get in touch.... For those of you undertaking VCE and VCAL this year, lean on us! Ask us about how you can access tutoring or set small learning goals to complete your tasks. We may not be able to see you face to face due to social distancing but we have other ways to connect and we're never too far away. Stay safe and look after one another. The state government announcement today included opportunities for families to access the internet and loan laptops during this time so no one misses out. If you are eligible for this assistance, we can help you with your applications and work with your school to make sure your learning continues with as little disruption as possible.
