My Future Matters Program

The My Future Matters program is targeted towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Year 7 to 12, and aims to shape students awareness and aspirations of higher education and other post-school options.

The program takes a three-tiered approach:

• Planting the Seed: Students will plant the seeds to their future through personalised conversations with Woolyungah Student Ambassadors. This includes cultural activities and increasing students awareness of post-school options.
• Growing our Own: Students will participate in activities to grow their own futures. Woolyungah Student Ambassadors will engage students in cultural activities, goal setting / subject selection conversations and exploring their post-school options.
• Branching into your Future: Students will explore what life looks like after school. Equipping themselves with tools to help plan and succeed as they branch into their futures. They will explore post-school opportunities and also the support that Woolyungah Indigenous Centre provides.

Students will have the opportunity to:

• Be mentored by current Indigenous students – WIC Ambassadors.
• Discover pathways available to gain entry to UOW.
• Participate in activities aimed to increase their awareness of post-school options.
• Participate in cultural activities with involvement from community members.
