Bill Brown's List: ATSI HEALTH PATHWAYS & SCHOLARSHIPS

TRADITIONAL CULTURAL CAPITAL JOINED GLOBALLY

Beyond Billabong was formed out of the work that had been conducted by Boyd Curran with the Waanyi people who are 51% owners of the Lawn Hill and Riversleigh Pastoral Holding Company (LHRPHC). Commencing in 2001 LHRPHC initiated a personal development training program on Riversleigh Station that achieved real outcomes for the participants, both personally and vocationally and in 2007 LHRPHC won the Queensland Premier’s Employment and Training award at the Reconciliation Awards.

In 2009 the Federal Government’s Department of Employment, Education and Workplace Relations saw the work first hand at Riversleigh and encouraged Boyd to create an organisation (Beyond Billabong) that would deliver innovative programs aimed at empowering Indigenous people. Beyond Billabong is now regarded as one of the leading organisations in Australia that delivers on its commitment to empower and support Indigenous people.

he Centre for Civil Society is a social innovation and public policy institute for the empowerment of ordinary people and strengthening of civil society.

Connectedness. Improving Indigenous student outcomes by building connected schools
Ten Queensland state schools show how they're turning around outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students by building greater connections between the school, the students, their families and the community.

A series of short video clips commissioned by the Division of Indigenous Education and Training Futures showcasing different elements of school connectedness. These case studies demonstrate that the more connected a student feels, the greater their chances of success. Ten practical examples of how schools are reaching out to their communities and building environments that are more welcoming and inclusive of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and cultures. These are leading to increased attendance, improved academic success and improved transitions (starting and leaving school).
