LEADERSHIP CAMP

The Leadership Development Camps act as a motivational tool to encourage young Indigenous students enrolled in remote and regional schools to attend school regularly throughout the year.  By achieving a pre-determined attendance target set by their school, successful students can be rewarded with a three day camp held in Perth.

School staff select students whose attendance rate had been above 80% to participate in the Perth Camp.  School attainment and behaviour are also criteria for being selected to attend the camp.

The three day camp program uses prominent community and sports role models to deliver workshops, sports coaching and fun filled activities that reinforce positive messages about:

• Healthy Lifestyles;
• Sport and Physical Activity;
• Education and Training; and,
• Leadership and Teamwork.
