Students

learn grow thrive

Learn.
Grow.
Thrive.

Students are at the heart of everything Yadha Muru Foundation is striving to achieve.

They are empowered to create their own good path to learn, grow and thrive through an educational model designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to reach the same achievement levels as their non-Indigenous peers.

This model comes to life through partnership with schools, families and communities working together to ensure students remaining connected to their culture throughout their education.

We encourage all students and families to connect with your local school if you are interested in learning more about this educational model.

At Darkinjung Barker the students had a strong sense that this was their school. At their old schools they felt dislocated and out of place; they were a minority. At DJB they belonged. Belonging meant they felt strong and safe and it gave them the confidence to learn and try new things; hard things. The personal growth in the students has been inspiring.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Yadha Muru Foundation (YMF) is an independent not-for-profit organisation formed in 2019 with the objective of assisting high-quality schools and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to come together in partnerships to develop pathways for their children to success in education and a thriving and fulfilling life. YMF is independent of the schools mentioned in this web site and does not receive any financial or other assistance from those schools.

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.
