LOURDES Hill College student Valerie Williams spent much of her recent school holidays at university.
The Year 12 student from Bamaga on Cape York was chosen to participate in the 2009 Indigenous Winter School Program at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney.
The university, through Nura Gili Indigenous Programs, aims to assist students in identifying career paths of interest and clarifying the subject areas required for further study in that field.
The one-week program from July 4-11 combined expertise from university faculties and industry for a comprehensive experience.
Lourdes Hill principal Narelle Mullins said Valerie was a wonderful leader at the college although not an official one.
“She has great pride in her indigenous heritage and wants to become a professional to help her people,” Ms Mullins said.
“She is inspirational in her efforts to take advantage of every opportunity possible.”
Valerie said that, although she missed the opportunity to go home to see her family, she had been looking forward to the UNSW experience as ” a great opportunity to meet other indigenous students who may have the same dream as me to complete school and go to uni”.
The program runs at no cost to the student.
