Staff Profiles

I commenced working with the Cape York Leaders Program in January this year as the Training and Development Co-ordinator.

I grew up in Far North Queensland and have family ties to Central Australia, Hope Vale and Wujal Wujal on Cape York. I look forward to using my skills from previous roles in training, aged care and politics in my role with CYLP.

I am committed to improving leadership opportunities for Indigenous people, particularly through education and political engagement.

I have a strong commitment to volunteering and I am involved in a local defence families support group and a member of Toastmasters. I am passionate about football (soccer) and have been a volunteer, coach and player.

My role within the CYLP team is coordinating the Youth and Skilling Leaders phases and assisting the Excelling Leaders phase. I will be maintaining regular contact with members to ensure they are on track with their leadership goals. I am very much looking forward to contributing to the success of the program.

3Welcome Note

Welcome Note

I am absolutely delighted with the success of the Cape York Leaders Program restructure and rebranding implemented in 2012. We are seeing great success across the Academic, Youth, Skilling and Excelling Leaders phases and I believe Cape York has a bright future with current and upcoming leaders. Individuals of all ages and stages in their leadership development are stepping up, growing and taking charge of their lives, families and communities.

It has been an exciting start to 2013 with 57 of our 75 Academic Leaders Secondary students attending the annual Leadership Conference on the Gold Coast. Due to extreme weather conditions across Cape York, 19 students were unfortunately unable to attend, however once conditions improved these students travelled to their respective schools, arriving safe and sound.

During the four day event, it was a pleasure to see our students taking part in a range of activities such as surfing, rock climbing, high ropes and team building activities, aimed to develop leadership potential and qualities. A highlight was the awesome talent night put on by individuals and community groups. We took student photos in different groups such as their respective communities, schools and year levels. I was deeply impressed by our supervisors’ engagement and interaction with our students, especially Academic Tertiary Leaders Phil Ober, Jahmilla Johnson, Margaret Blackman, Stephen Minniecon and recent Year 12 graduate Kia Yeatman, who took lead roles at this year’s annual conference and put their leadership skills to work with the younger generation. A testament to the success of our program is seeing nine students successfully transition from Secondary to Tertiary education or employment. Our experience shows that there is a strong correlation between our students’ success and the level of support provided by our partner schools.

The Academic Leaders Tertiary phase has commenced with 39 students enrolled. We are continuously inspired by their commitment, perseverance and dedication. Very soon we will be hosting a two-day induction workshop for all new Tertiary Students. This allows students to reflect on their journey and is an opportunity for staff to support, encourage and inspire students to maintain a high level of determination and motivation throughout their tertiary education. Research shows that 90% of students who complete their first year subsequently go on to successfully complete their qualification.

Academic Tertiary Leader, Diana David was one of 20 students selected from several hundred applicants to participate in a leadership exchange to India. Diana is now home from her trip and we look forward to hearing about her experience and learnings from this amazing opportunity.

This year many members will graduate from their respective leadership phases:

Four Academic Tertiary students will graduate with degrees in Film and Media, Law, Nursing and Business and Entrepreneurship

Youth and Skilling Leaders will complete their two year leadership scholarship and receive qualifications in Business and Frontline Management

Excelling Leaders will complete their executive leadership scholarship along with coaching and mentoring training

Our team comprises 100% Indigenous staff who are committed to and passionate about the Cape York Agenda and work diligently to ensure our members reach their goals. We welcome new staff Kayannie Denigan as Training and Development Coordinator and Duane Fraser as Academic Leaders Secondary Student Support Officer in Townsville, to the CYLP team.

I am excited for the year ahead and grateful for the support provided to our members by parents, families and partners which greatly assists us to ensure the success of all phases. I encourage all supports to keep in touch with us so together we can resolve any issues before they impact our members’ progress.

It has been an extremely busy start to 2013. All students have transitioned from communities into their respective schools. Due to the wild weather in January, some students were a little late in starting school as they were unable to leave their communities. We are grateful for the commitment of our partner schools who provided students with school work during this time, allowing them to keep up with their class work.

This year we welcome 52 Academic Leaders Secondary students to our Brisbane schools - Stuartholme School of the Sacred Heart, Brisbane Grammar School, Brisbane Boys Grammar, St Peters Lutheran College and Ashgrove Marist College. Many of our senior students have been selected to take on leadership roles within their schools. We are very proud of this achievement and confident they will lead with great success.

This year we welcome five Academic Leaders Secondary students to Rockhampton Girls Grammar School from Pormpuraaw, Palm Island and Coen. Returning students are Shonelle Castors from Palm Island in Year 10, Jasmine Holroyd from Pormpuraaw in Year 9 and Mirinda Bulsey from Palm Island also in Year 9. A special welcome to our newest Year 8 students Shiquea Creek from Coen and Melanie Conrad from Pormpuraaw. Shiquea and Melanie have started the year on a positive note and have already joined the school's touch-football team.

It is pleasing to see our students start the year feeling confident and with the drive to succeed in their studies. Our returning students are showing signs of being excellent role models to our new students while they settle in. Jasmine has resumed dance rehearsals and is working towards the next national dance competition. Shonelle is strongly involved in netball and training hard to improve her fitness and skills.

Student Profile

My name is Jasmine Holroyd and I have been a member of the Cape York Leaders Program since 2012 when I started Year 8. I am now in Year 9 at Rockhampton Girls Grammar and have enjoyed every moment of my experience so far.

I am from Pormpuraaw and miss my family and going swimming when I am away at boarding school, but also enjoy hanging out with the friends I have made in Rockhampton.

I currently study English, Maths, SOSE, Science, Technology, Business and Dance. I also attend tutoring for two hours every week which greatly assists me to complete homework and assessments on time.

In my free time I practice dance and constantly try to improve my skills. My goals are to continue focusing on my academic studies and dance so I can pursue a career in dance.

I am grateful for the support and assistance the Cape York Institute and the Cape York Leaders Program gives to my family and I for my education.

This year we welcome 13 Academic Leaders Secondary students to Cathedral College in Townsville including two new Year 8 students Colin Kepple and Kyeisha Zaro.

All students were excited to participate in the Annual Leadership Camp on the Gold Coast and have returned focused, confident and set for another year of hard work. All students have settled into school and are now well underway in the first term with assessments and assignments scheduled to take place. In addition to their school work, students are exploring leadership and extracurricular activities including music, sports and gym.

Congratulations to Robin Solomon who has been elected as “House Captain” for Middle School Boarding (Years 7, 8 and 9). We have every confidence he will be successful in this important leadership role. Students have also had the opportunity to meet and welcome Duane Fraser, Student Support Officer for Townsville, and have provided much positive feedback on his involvement.

This year we welcome back five returning Academic Leaders Secondary students to Columba Catholic College - Mesela Newman and Raikiesha Castors in Year 9, Ivy Nona in Year 10 and Kelam Nona and Jasmine Salam in Year 12. It has been a busy start to the year with the girls settling back into school life.

Senior students Kelam and Jasmine were both elected College Leaders and proudly received their badges. We congratulate them on being chosen for these important leadership roles. Jasmine has been selected in the touch-football, netball and softball teams while fellow students Kelam and Ivy were also selected to play touch-football.

We are now halfway through term 1 and student workloads are at full capacity. Students will soon take a well-earned break with all five IYLP students from Columba Catholic College travelling to Bivouac Junction (20km from Charters Towers) to take part in team building exercises and some R&R to rejuvenate prior to submitting their first term assignments and sitting exams.

The Cathedral School

Tasheena Poi Poi, Kym Kepple and Tyrone Christian-Reys have now commenced their final year at The Cathedral School. Kym and Tyrone have been at the school since Year 8 and Tasheena since Year 9. Each student has a good idea of what they would like to do after school and have been working hard to achieve the marks needed to continue on to University in 2014. Good luck in your final year!

All students are approaching end of term exams and assessment due dates and we wish them the best of luck.

The Cathedral School is an independent Anglican School that provides a comprehensive education and an exceptional level of care to children from six weeks of age to Year 12. The school is home to more than 150 boarding students from many different backgrounds, including those from rural families, coastal and island communities and overseas.

The students persevered through the tough transition into boarding school and are now displaying confidence and enthusiasm. We look forward to supporting both students throughout the next 5 years.

Congratulations to Robin Solomon in Year 9 who has been elected as Middle School Bede House Captain. Robin participated in an election process that included creating flyers and speaking in front of the Middle School.

Academic Leaders Secondary - Partner School Profile 7

8 Leadership camp

The annual camp is a highlight for students and provides an opportunity to interact and connect with CYLP staff and Academic Leader tertiary students and unite as a team. It is especially important for new students to understand what is expected of them as part of the CYLP program and recognise CYI’s commitment to supporting and encouraging every student. We were pleased to have both Cape York Institute's CEO, Fiona Jose, and Head of Leadership, James Fa’Aoso, attend the camp and share their passion and commitment to the program and its members.

We were proud to see Tertiary Students, who had gone through Secondary School, step up and take the lead and share their stories of Secondary School, orbiting between two worlds and their experience of leaving and returning to their communities. There is a ripple effect occurring in our leadership program where we now see members becoming great leaders and passing their leadership skills on to the next generation.

Surfing, kayaking, high-ropes and mountain climbing were just some of the activities during the four day action packed Annual Leadership Camp. This year’s camp took place at Palm Beach on the Gold Coast. Students along with staff and supervisors from the Academic Leaders Tertiary program braved the wild weather to kick start the school year feeling motivated and ready to learn.

Students were inspired and challenged through leadership sessions, team building,

trivia and a very entertaining talent night

Students were inspired and challenged through leadership sessions, team building, trivia and a very entertaining talent night. Community groups impressed the audience with their performances in singing, hip-hop, rap and traditional dance, and we even saw champion yo-yoing.

We have a very talented and well-mannered group of Secondary students and they are who they are because of their families.

It has been an exciting start to the New Year with six Year 12 graduates from 2012 receiving university offers at James Cook University in Cairns and Townsville to study in their chosen fields of Nursing, Business, Sports and Exercise Science.

We anxiously awaited results and congratulate all students on their offers. Students attended Orientation ‘O-week’ and induction activities and have settled into their accommodation at their respective Universities. We look forward to continuing to support these students throughout their tertiary education. Six students commenced in semester one, and one student will commence semester two 2013:

Tegan Turvey

Brittany Yeatman

Tennelle Castors

Kia Yeatman (will commence mid-year)

Throughout this year, we will work closely with all students to develop their leadership plans based on their personal and professional aspirations.

During the mid-year beak, all first year students will attend the Annual Tertiary Induction Workshop in Cairns focused on providing skills in effective studying, motivation and time management as well as highlighting a range of available support services. Guest speakers will include professionals from James Cook University, ABSTUDY, Student Support Services and Cape York Institute.

We would like to wish all Tertiary students who are in their final year of university the best of luck in completing their degrees in 2013. Four students are on-track to complete degrees in Film and Media, Law, Nursing and Business.

Diana has recently been elected as the Indigenous Student Representative Officer at the University of Melbourne Student Union. As the voice of Indigenous students and affairs on campus, Diana and seven other Indigenous student committee members will address issues faced by

Indigenous students and communities and focus on increasing cultural exchange and understanding through the University of Melbourne Reconciliation Action Plan.

Diana was one of four undergraduates from the University of Melbourne who recently travelled to India as part of the Australia India Institute‘s 10 day Australia India Study Tour. The tour visited Mumbai, New Delhi, Rajasthan and Haryana. It aimed to strengthen relations between India and Australia by bringing high-achieving students together to develop greater understanding.

"India is emerging as a growing mega-democracy and has the potential to be a valuable strategic partner for Australia and the rest of the world” said Diana.

Diana is also involved with OXFAM Australia, and part of an upcoming theatre play/film called ‘1938: An Opera, the day of mourning’ and also the ‘Tent Embassy’.

"I get so busy at times but I think it’s a good thing so I don’t get so homesick. I miss my family, I miss country and all that good food but I have to work hard now and build that foundation for my family".

"It’s important to stay focused to achieve my goals; I found that when a dream mixed with confidence, determination, persistence, and belief, it grows into reality".

A long way from home, Kaanju women Diana David has shown that hard work and determination definitely pays off. She is currently studying Political Science History at the University of Melbourne and is a proud student of the Cape York Leaders Program.

India is a beautiful country, rich in culture and the people are so welcoming despite the

poverty that surrounds their everyday life. I was honoured to be a part of this experience

" I found that when a dream mixed with confidence, determination, persistence, and belief, it grows into reality"

" I believe that the bigger the dream, the bigger the rewards. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream - he was confident, determined, and persistent and he became great. Mary McLeod Bethune had a dream - she wanted to start a college for black students who at the time normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to attend college. She started the Bethune Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Florida with only six dollars to her name, but she was in possession of something more powerful – a dream! Today the College is one of the best higher education schools in the United States".

I became part of the Cape York Leaders Program in mid-2008 as a Grade 11 student at The Cathedral School of St Anne and St James in Townsville. I was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship and since then, I haven’t looked back.

I met other Indigenous students who were also part of the CYLP program and had left their community to better themselves by furthering their education. Having a strong support group while being away from home was “like gold”. They provided extra tutoring after school to help with assignments and supplied us with laptops. Staff organised camps which provided us with a range of appropriate activities to encourage us to keep driving forward and achieving our goals. I attended one of the camps on the Gold Coast and took many inspiring stories and experiences away with me.

While in Year 12 in 2009, I become Boarding Captain and School Prefect. I also made the Netball team, was chosen as Captain and subsequently travelled to the United Kingdom for three weeks to play a series of games. I then graduated from school at the end of 2009 and from the CYLP Secondary Program after accomplishing numerous achievements.

I transitioned from the Secondary Program to the Tertiary Program and commenced my first year as a student at James Cook University in Cairns. I was one of four Indigenous people in my class. Each year, similar to the Secondary Program, Cape York Institute ran a camp to motivate us and work out how they could assist us.

While being part of the Tertiary Program I was nominated to attend a National Students Leadership Forum in Canberra which was held at Parliament House. I was fortunate to see how Parliament operated, to hear Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott give a speech on leadership, visit the War Memorial and meet with Ministers.

In 2012 I attended the State Leadership Forum in Brisbane and also gained a lot from hearing stories and meeting inspiring people.

My name is Tanay Ropeyarn and I am from Injinoo, one of the five communities that make up the Northern Peninsula Area (NPA) in the Cape. I am a descendant of the Angkamuthi Clan on my father’s side and Woppaburra of Great Keppel Island on my mother’s side. At present, I am a fourth year student studying a Bachelor of Law at James Cook University in Cairns.

STudENT PROFILE

Meet Tanay Ropeyarn

This program was not only a scholarship but it was like having family at school

" I have had nothing but a positive journey, a journey that has provided many challenges but greater outcomes"

The Cape York Leaders Program has had a huge positive impact on shaping who I am today. From being a shy person at the beginning of the program, I have gained confidence in myself to share my story to many people around Australia, whether it is in Canberra or at TAFE in Cairns. The Program also gave me great opportunities like travelling to different places and conferences and I learned a lot from these. Most importantly, the Program has helped me to achieve my goal of becoming a lawyer. I am nearly at the end of my law degree and would like to practice as a criminal lawyer.

I would encourage anyone who is thinking of applying for the Program to do so without any hesitation whether you are thinking of attending boarding school or wanting to study at University. I have had nothing but a positive journey, a journey that has provided many challenges but greater outcomes.

I am very grateful and thankful to the Cape York Leaders Program Program staff who have been by my side my entire journey, supporting and assisting me every step of the way.

Preparation for the Youth, Skilling and Excelling Leaders training is well underway. It is exciting to see our members commence their second year of studies. Members are on par to finish their respective qualifications in 2013. Modules across the phases include Business Technology, Occupational Health and Safety, and Information Technology.

Youth, Skilling & Excellence Leaders

Youth LeadersThis year Youth leaders will complete their Certificate II in Business which includes work experience placements within the Cairns business community. This opportunity is offered in conjunction with the Cairns Chamber of Commerce. The placement will allow members to utilise the skills gained while undertaking their business qualification. They will gain a rich experience by working with a range of organisations outside their community and putting into practise learnings from their Business Certificate.

Skilling LeadersThe Skilling Leaders phase is delivered to two distinct group levels. Skilling A targets leaders with the skills and capacity to enter into training programs and Skilling B targets leaders with little experience in the workplace who commence a build module prior to entering the training program.

Group A Leaders commence their second stage of formal training and will complete their Certificate IV in Business this year.

CYLP has designed and developed specific in-house training that will be delivered by our staff throughout the year.

Group B Leaders are exposed to a range of workshops that provide them with a good base to further develop their leadership journey. The program offers a range of specifically designed modules including communication, leadership, governance and financial management.

Excelling The Excelling Leaders Phase focuses on members who were identified as having strong leadership capabilities and the capacity to lead organisations and communities. CYLP commenced 2013 with a leadership session via conference call linking members from several communities across Cape York and Cairns. The session explored leadership communication and methods of best managing oneself in demanding work environments while maintaining the balance of creating a high performance workplace team and culture. Technology allows us to communicate and participate in on-line sessions and teleconferences regardless of barriers to location.

People Excellence

In May 2012, I was elected as a Councillor for the Injinoo Division. After the elections, CYI approached our Council to see if anyone was interested in participating in the leadership program and gave a presentation on how the program works and what the potential benefits were. After seeing the presentation, I decided to participate as I saw it as an excellent way of up-skilling with support from highly skilled educators.

Initially I expected the range of program activities to be very difficult but after successfully completing the first year of the program, I would say that while many activities did challenge me, I learned a lot. Throughout the year I have been provided with lots of valuable information, tools and support to increase my leadership skills at home and in my community. The program has included presentations by a range of high level and specialised speakers and educators designed to assist us to develop our leadership skills. I believe that since undertaking this first stage of the program, I have become a better public speaker and am more confident dealing with different situations and people.

This program is very effective and will take you out of your comfort zone. It’s like a pebble in the pond where the ripples keep going and nobody knows where it ends. My experience has been one that I will come out with leadership skills way beyond my previous expectations.

2013 is the last year of my leadership journey and I look forward to my upcoming challenges and continuing to develop my leadership skills.

Hi my name is Anthony Mara and I live in a community called Injinoo which is at the most northern point of Australia, one of the last five communities before the Torres Strait Island. I have been running my own carpentry business for three years and have enjoyed this challenging and rewarding experience.

This program is very effective and will take you out of your comfort zone.
