Last Friday, Waverley College First Nations students were invited to gather at the Australian Catholic University at Strathfield, for the very first EREA ACU Indigenous Student Day.
The Yalbalinga Indigenous Higher Education Unit hosted an experience day for senior students that provided an opportunity for students to be exposed to a tertiary pathway at ACU, learn about the support measures in place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students by speaking and engaging with current ACU students directly, as well as network with other EREA schools in the greater Sydney region.
While this program has operated for EREA schools in Brisbane, this was the first time it has been run for Sydney schools. Year 12 students, Xavier Quinn and Elliot Witten, found the experience to be informative and enjoyable, as it opened their awareness to the greater opportunities available to them post school.
