Future School Partnerships in the Barkly Region

Yadha Muru Foundation’s Sean Gordon recently met with Student and Family Support Officer of the NT Department of Education, Tristan Duggie, to discuss the possibility of future school partnerships in the Barkly Region. Tristan is a Traditional Owner and caretaker of the Mungkarta community of Warumungu Country.

The City-Country Partnerships Program aims to help students increase their attendance, learning skills, and forward trajectory to Year 12 and beyond, into future work and study pathways.

We are excited to work with Tristan and the NT Department of Education to create opportunities for students in the Barkly Region.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations who were the first sovereign peoples of the Australian continent and its adjacent islands, and possessed it under their own laws and customs.

We pay respect to their Elders - past, present and future. We make a commitment to move forward in a spirit of reconciliation. We value the unique status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the original custodians of these lands and waters. Our nation must have the courage to own the truth and to heal the wounds of its past so that we can move on together at peace with ourselves. We want a future where all Australians enjoy their rights, accept their responsibilities, and have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. We dare to hope for a united country where all Australians respect this land of ours; value the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage; and value the unique cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and those who have come more recently to this land.
