2021 CHARITY SCHOLARSHIP:
BURDEKIN ASSOCIATION
Well College are proud to have awarded the Certified Coach Professional Scholarship for 2021 to The Burdekin Association. The Burdekin Association enables young people aged 12 to 25 years who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, to develop the skills and confidence to live independently within the wider community. They offer a range of accommodation and support options for children and young people between the ages of 9 and 17 who are under the care of the NSW Minister. Burdekin also offer an extension of this program for young people who are turning 18 and require further accommodation and support. Their Out-of-Home Care program is accredited under the Office of the Children's Guardian and they also offer semi-independent housing for homeless or at-risk local young people committed to working with our case managers to develop the skills required to make the transition to living independently in the community. One of the reasons the Burdekin Association have been successfully providing support services to young people on the Northern Beaches since 1981 is our ability to provide additional support services outside our core program areas which include Brokerage, Outreach and Prevention.

SCHOOLS STATIONERY & CLOTHING INITIATIVE
As part of our commitment to health and well-being locally and wider afield, Well College partnered with a number of other companies to ship clothing and school stationery direct to communities in remote Australia, schools in Fiji and other Pacific Islands. Working with Pelikan Artline, Curl Curl North Public School, Pickles School Uniforms and G&R Wills we have been able to ship children's clothing and school and office stationary to hundreds of children and families.

2015- Australia
Indigenous Childrens' Support Program
But wait there's more... 2015 saw Pelikan Artline freight extensive school stationery to remote areas in Australia to support indigenous initiatives in schooling to encourage positive experiences and outcomes at school in the early years. Relevant and culturally sensitive education is a resource that if you don't have access to can be of great disadvantage. Closing the gap between Indigenous Australia and non-Indigenous requires urgent attention to not only health, but education and much more.
2014- TONGA
A container of similar goods went to Tonga early 2014. In addition to the stationary supplies from Pelikan-Artline, donations included children's sports and school shoesCurrently the schools and churches in our chosen community make their own school books; can't think of a better community to support.
If you are a die-hard Wallabies supporter you will remember the great Willie O. Kevin Hurly from Pelikan Artline organised the shipment to Willie O's communities at Sia-'A-Toutai College in Nuku'alofa, Tonga! Items will be distributed to 12 family groups to support their learning and wellbeing. Educating communities is supporting everyone!
