Worawa Aboriginal College aims to provide a quality education for indigenous females in Years 7 to 10 from all over Australia. It prepares students for their VCE, offering transitional school guidance. The college assists its students step by step as well as broadening their knowledge and respect of their culture. Students live in an atmosphere that enhances Aboriginal cultural values through the curriculum as well as throughout each day’s activities. The students live the Aboriginal culture because it is integrated with everything they do and learn. A Worawa education covers all aspects of life, not just a series of subjects within an education system alongside living within an Aboriginal culture. Successful ex-students include David Wirrpunda and Sean Charles.
