Indigenous Pathways Guide
In 2022, the Oorala Aboriginal Centre created the Indigenous Pathways Guide in collaboration with UNE Marketing. The guide aims to support and improve access to the university for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It achieves this by providing a single resource designed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The guide includes targeted information about the university, the Oorala Aboriginal Centre, and our student experiences. The guide has been distributed with our outreach activities in schools, the community and careers markets.
Regional Schools Breakfast
In November 2022, Oorala hosted an information breakfast session with Aboriginal Education Officers, Guidance Officers, and Principals from 18 schools across the region to forge more responsive and better access options for students from these schools. The morning was a success, and further collaboration will occur through the Pathways Academy and other planned events. The training support needs of Indigenous staff in school were also discussed.
