Our Diamond Spirit Pillars
Engage
ENGAGE provides participation and pathways for youngsters living in remote communities. The programmes are predominately delivered through local primary schools with a view to transistion to after-school programmes at local PCYC centres.
Empower
EMPOWER aims to build the capacity of communities to deliver ongoing netball programmes, through tailored coach and officials programmes. We also employ part-time Community Netball coaches which provide employment opportunties for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women living in community.
Educate
EDUCATE is delivered in State High Schools and employs full-time teachers, providing mentoring for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander female students in years 7-12. The program aims to improve the well-being of students, improve and increase school attendance through positive behavioural change.
