A Weekend to Remember: Empowering African-Australian Students at Mount Eliza

African-Australian students with NAA staff and guests at the Mount Eliza Camp.

On April 11 to 13, 2025, my team at Networking African-Australians hosted a three-day camp in Mount Eliza for 34 African-Australian students. This initiative, part of our Homework Club Program, filled the school break with opportunities for students to learn new tools for growth, resilience, and leadership.

Throughout the camp, students joined workshops and activities on confidence-building, teamwork, leadership, and mental health. These sessions were practical and encouraged reflection and connection.

The camp was also a time for African-Australian students to connect, share their stories, and support each other.

We thank the Department of Education, our team, guests, and the camp staff who helped bring this vision to life. Your support made this experience possible.

This work keeps me going. These young leaders are our future, and I’m proud to walk alongside them.
