become available

skills

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Tertiary Aspirations Project

Torres Strait Islander students in senior secondary school. By so doing, it is

community support is provided for students.

non-Indigenous students participate in workshops, performances and listen to
guest speakers. The aim of these activities is to increase students'
