Expression of Interest Open for Health and Wellbeing Camp

The New South Wales Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Inc. (NSW AECG Inc.), in partnership with the Department of Education's (DOE), Communities Directorate, is organising a Health and Wellbeing Camp for Aboriginal students in Years 7 and 9. We are now inviting DoE schools with Aboriginal students in these year groups to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI).

The camp will motivate students to lead healthier and active lifestyles, while encouraging students to consider careers in sport other than participation. The NSW AECG Inc. is committed and actively involved in supporting and raising the academic achievement of Aboriginal students. We aim to empower students to be active learners in their education and training by providing opportunities to develop skills in leadership roles within their schools and communities. This camp will look at opportunities that can inspire and motivate students who may be thinking of a career in health or who simply want to live a healthy lifestyle. The camp will span three days. On days one & two students will engage in workshops covering topics such as mindset, leadership, and nutrition. Day three will feature a sports gala day.

The maximum number of students for the camp is 60. Please limit applications to 15 students per school. Schools must submit EOIs on behalf of students wishing to attend the camp through a google forms process.
