BroSpeak offers fruitful path through education

1 JANUARY 2003

Aboriginal boys from Murray, James Fallon and Albury high schools in Albury will get a glimpse of their own paths in tertiary education when they discuss future study options at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga on Friday 13 September. The 2013 BroSpeak project will finish with a barbeque for participants and speakers, including Mr Brett Biles, who is an Aboriginal man and CSU academic involved in the BroSpeak program which was facilitated by Mr Matthew Hogan from Murray High School. “We are helping these students on their journey to develop life skills and identify and connect with their culture, while encouraging the boys to engage with school. This visit is important in providing these boys with educational goals that they can achieve locally,” Mr Biles said. The BroSpeak project has been run over six weeks by the NSW Department of Education and Communities, CSU and local Aboriginal men from Albury-Wodonga. “The program involves Aboriginal men from the local community providing advice, education and their stories on being successful and proud Aboriginal men, including those involved in tertiary education,” Mr Biles said.
