  • Lack of self-confidence.
  • Lack of awareness about secondary boarding schools.

Achievements

  • Students mentor each other.
  • Students felt safe to talk about personal issues.
  • Students had fun learning.

Developed with the support and assistance from Lockhart River Community and Indigenous Education and Training Alliance.

"I have seen the students work with Nola at Lockhart River State School. Nola is a friend who doesn't judge them for their questions. I support Nola and the program that is being currently run using Nola, and I would like to see it continued. We want our students to be involved in technology that is relevant to them now and that is already in our community."
