St Joseph’s Nudgee College offers AIEF Scholarships for boarding students.
St Joseph’s Nudgee College, in partnership with AIEF is dedicated to the advancement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students through education and being part of an inclusive and culturally diverse school community.
The AIEF is key to supporting these students by providing opportunities in partnership with the College to ensure ongoing success and empowerment of Indigenous students, by having access to a quality holistic education and academic growth.
Nudgee College embraces the mentoring program that connects past Nudgee College Old Boys that have come through the AIEF pathway to connect the past with the present. Our AIEF Alumni offer guidance, academic support and advice on career pathways, along with developing relationships far beyond the school journey. We were blessed to have Tarig ( AIEF graduate) as our Indigenous Liaison Officer, a wonderful role model and exceptional support for our boys.
AIEF students were at the forefront of enriching our diverse culture at Nudgee College through the sharing of knowledge and culture in celebrating Reconciliation and NAIDOC week throughout the College. The AIEF students showcased their culture with pride and an ongoing commitment to enhance the rich tapestry of our school spirit.
Many individual students also achieved significant success in 2024. A highlight for the entire school was when John was named Captain of our First XV rugby team and also being named in the Australian schoolboys team. This is a major accomplishment given the school’s depth of talent and it was a powerful message for our younger boys to emulate John’s strong leadership qualities, representing his school and his culture so proudly. While many boys received academic medals, Darcy needs to be celebrated for his continued achievements in academic excellence whilst also participating in a number of co-curricular activities across the wider school community.
Jayden was selected in a number of representative teams across athletics and soccer, as was EJ, being selected in the Indigenous Games for soccer, both boys come from remote communities where opportunities would not have been possible without the pathways provided by an AIEF scholarship.
Nudgee College is blessed to be on a journey with AIEF and is grateful our AIEF students are able to be celebrated and be provided with the opportunity to reach their potential.
Your investment will help more Indigenous students access world-class education and careers.
To be honest, my Mum and I feel like we’ve won the lottery. I get to go to the best school, have all the activities and opportunities they provide and then receive all this support after I graduate – it’s amazing.
