Welcome to the Wollotuka School of Aboriginal Studies
Wollotuka School of Aboriginal Studies supports the most comprehensive range of Indigenous studies programs in Australia. This is through the influence of the complete Indigenous teaching and administrative staff who manage all the programs through the School. The education programs within the School can support a student from bridging programs like Yapug Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Enabling Program through to postgraduate studies at Umulliko Indigenous Higher Education Centre.
Both the School and Indigenous Support Unit are housed in a uniquely designed learning space which was developed to incorporate aspects of Indigenous practices and culture to present the students with a warm familiar environment. The design of the building incorporates the motifs of the Eaglehawk, a primary totem of the Awabakal Nation.
More than 50 Indigenous Year 10 students from Central Coast high schools have had a taste of university life recently through a program coordinated by Project Officer Rebecca Jacobs and run by the Gibalee Centre.
