Welcome Note

Fiona Jose

Welcome to the final edition of the Cape York Leaders Program newsletter for 2012. As I reflect on the year, it is pleasing to think about how much we have achieved. 2012 has been a year of significant growth for both our program and its members. Together we have raised the standard of achievement in leadership throughout Cape York.

Congratulations to our Year 12 and Tertiary graduates. The dedication of our members to achieve their personal and professional goals is inspiring.

I was recently awarded QLD ‘Not-for-Profit Manager of the Year’ at the Australian Institute of Management state finals. I have been overwhelmed by the support and congrats from friends, colleagues and our business community. I am very proud to hold this award and it gives me much confidence to motivate all CYLP members and their families to strive for excellence in all they do.

o James Fa'Aos

2012 has been an exciting year for the Cape York Leaders Program.

I am honoured to be appointed as Head of Leadership and lead our energised team and members into 2013. Over the past 4 months I have appreciated and been amazed of the dealings of the Academic Leaders phase, staff students and commitment of the various partners. It has been personally enriching and rewarding to witnes the personally achievements of students, hearing their stories and interacting under the watchful eyes of proud parents. As father of four children and being blessed with both girls and boys I can testify to parenting responsibility is constant.

Congratulations to our nine Year 12 students who successfully graduated. We are delighted to transition seven students into Tertiary education and wish the other two students a successful career in the workforce.

Following an overwhelming number of applications from families we are pleased to welcome 14 new Academic Leaders Secondary Students to the program in 2013. We are pumped for the annual Academic Leaders Secondary Conference in January, to be held on the Gold Coast.

Congratulations to all Tertiary students who delivered a tremendous effort to their studies throughout the year. A special mention to Margaret Blackman who completed her Bachelor of Business majoring in Management and Entrepreneurship, well done! Our Tertiary students were fantastic representatives for CYLP and their community with many attending national and international events.

I would like to acknowledge our Youth, Skilling and Excelling Leaders for their efforts in 2012. We ran 14 workshops across the three phases and together we finish the year stronger and closer to achieving our personal and professional goals.

In 2012, CYI designed a holistic mentoring framework. This new designed program will roll out in 2013 and we look forward to nurturing mentoring relationships and educating our leaders to become mentors themselves.

Cape York Institute has been chosen as one of 13 organisations to be part of building a national Indigenous leadership framework. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the Indigenous Leadership agenda for the future and I am looking forward to leading this work.

Finally I would like to thank all involved in delivering the CYLP for their dedication to the program, your support is much appreciated. We wish you all a safe and merry Christmas and look forward to a productive 2013 to take out Christmas part.

Rest assured all our students have earned the right to have a break after another packed year of learning, growing and development. Enjoy a well-deserved break with family and communities and we look forward to you returning fresh to start the 2013 year.

BRISBANE WRAP UP

As most will agree, this year has flown by so quickly. It almost seems as though it has somehow been shorter than the last. CYLP students have managed to jam in more achievements in 2012 than 2011 which is just remarkable. Firstly we’d like to congratulate our new students who made it to the end of their first year as part of the Cape York Leaders Program. We congratulate all new students and their families who commenced Term 1 2012 on completing their first year at boarding school.

Congratulations to continuing junior students who have grown from strength to strength in both their studies and extracurricular activities and are one step closer to graduation.

Special congratulations to Lorraine Jaffer and Mena Newman who both represented Stuartholme in rowing this year, their training on the Brisbane River before sunrise during the middle of winter paid off when they finished first in their Year 9 quad race at the Brisbane School Girls Rowing Associations Head of the River Regatta.

Reflecting on what the CYLP offered students in 2012 there has been some great opportunities to attend quality leadership conferences as part of their journey. Year 10 students attended the National IYLP gathering in Canberra and late in the year, Year 12 students attended the National IYLP Year 12 Graduation in Canberra. All of our nine graduating students were able to attend and be recognised for their efforts over the last five years of secondary schooling.

Students across the program have been involved in extra-curricular activities ranging from sports, dance, music and arts in all regions from Brisbane, Rockhampton, Charters Towers, Townsville and Cairns competing at all different local and state levels.

Our Partner Schools have provided and nurtured many opportunities for students to take on leadership roles in their school communities.

Students have been selected as year level representatives and captains.

We partner with these quality schools not only for their academic excellence but what they can offer students in their leadership and personal growth. We thank them for their commitment to the CYLP, students, families and people from Cape York.

2013 planning is well under way and we are now finalising arrangements for the Academic Leaders Secondary Conference in January being hosted at the Tallebudgera Outdoor Recreation Centre on the Gold Coast.

It is great to see families dedicated to giving their child the best possible opportunity for their education with another overwhelming response to our recruitment for 2013. At this stage fourteen new secondary students will commence in January and we wish them every success in the year ahead.

Special congratulations to new 2012 students Ellen McIvor and Kallum Clarke who have been the source of much praise for their commitment and academic performance from each of their partner schools.

Our Year 10 students had a big year travelling to Canberra for the IYLP National Gathering, where we all learnt why beanies and hoodies exist. Special congratulations to all of our students who got up to perform in front of the 150+ crowd during the talent night. Marley Ahmat and co were the victors in the talent competition with their deadly break-dance performance which sent the crowd crazy.

Our senior students have capped off an extremely impressive year in 2012. They have again set a wonderful example to our younger students. We especially congratulate Courtney Minnecon and Trey Kemp on their captaincy appointments which we discuss further later in this edition. Also Annie Creek on her ‘Spirit of Boarding Award’ for the departing Year 12 boarding girl for her leadership and contributions to the St Peters boarding house as well as the ‘Sports Award’ for her contributions in sport. Final congratulations also to Chevez Morton on his graduation from Marist College Ashgrove. Both his parents were able to join him for graduation day at Marist, with their disco lights and fireworks display a great send off for him and his peers.

It has been a wonderful year and a very busy one, I know our students will enjoy the holidays.

We would like to wish you all a very warm and wonderful Christmas and a safe and happy new year.

APOLOGY FOR PRINT ERROR IN EDITION 3 Cape York Institute wishes to offer its apologies to Crystal Thomas who attends Stuartholme School. In our last newsletter Crystal’s Chemistry result was printed as an E. If fact Crystal achieved a C (pass) for this subject.

National Year 12 Graduation Ceremony 2012 The Indigenous Youth Leadership Program is helping to close the gap in Indigenous educational disadvantage through creating greater access to additional education choice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, particularly those from remote and very remote areas across the country.

The Australian Government’s Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP) held its National Year 12 Graduation in Canberra and nine of our graduating Year 12 students attended the Gala Ceremony this year.

Students and their families were invited by the Honourable Minster for Education Mr Peter Garrett to attend the graduation ceremony.

The official proceedings commenced over breakfast with the Minister, where Students received their IYLP Graduation Certificates in front of family members, other IYLP participants, partnership brokers and DEEWR staff.

Following breakfast, students’ toured the National Museum and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS). The graduates spent the afternoon with the Reach Foundation for a leadership and goal setting workshop. The day concluded with a dinner event where the crowd was entertained by

Indigenous Comedian, Sean Choolburra followed by ‘Koorioke’.

The Cape York Leaders Program was well represented in the Koorioke session with Kia and Brittany Yeatman as well as Chevez Morton all singing a song each. Family members also performed a few songs, with Leon Yeatman (Snr), David Miller and Melanie Walsh all belting out a few ballads.

All of these students deserve to be acknowledged and congratulated for achieving their graduation and they should be very proud of their efforts.

We appreciate the continuing support we receive, without which the success of the program and students achievements would not be possible.

We also acknowledge and thank the parents of the students on the program, extended families, Cape York Institute staff, DEEWR, Partner schools and External stakeholders for their continuing support.

Be the pebble that creates the ripples of growth, ripples of success, across your life, your family, your community, your work and lead others.

Trey Kemp

Courtney Minniecon

Trey Kemp has just completed year 11 at Brisbane Grammar School (BGS) and is about to embark on his final school year in 2013.

Courtney has also finished year 11 this year at Stuartholme School. Her upstanding and continued leadership qualities in her time at Stuartholme have been a constant source of praise from numerous teaching and boarding staff members as well as students.

During 2012 Trey has represented BGS in the Firsts Rugby Union team who won this year’s GPS 1st XV Rugby competition, as well as the BGS Volleyball team in the Australian Volleyball Schools Cup in Melbourne.

Trey was also selected to represent Queensland in Rugby Union at the National U16 Championships where they placed 3rd. Through his impressive performance at the National Championships, Trey was then selected to join the Australian Rugby Union National Gold Squad which is a development program for approximately 90 U16-U18 players across the nation.

As well as his sporting performances, Trey has managed to balance his academic commitments to ensure a strong start to his senior education.

The maturity and leadership he has displayed in his commitment to both sports and study has also been recognised by BGS in appointing him the Vice-Captain of Harlin House (Boarding).

We congratulate Trey on his numerous achievements this year, especially his vice-captaincy and wish him all the best for another great year in 2013.

During 2012, Courtney has been a member of the Student Representative Council, as well as a Peer Helper. Both of which are peer appointed positions, elected and voted by fellow students.

Courtney also received the year 11 Cor Unum Award during Stuartholme’s Night of Excellence. This award is given in recognition of one student in each year level who has displayed the values and qualities associated with the Stuartholme Sacred Heart philosophy.

Although only a small few outside of Stuartholme can attest, all reports indicate that Courtney has a great singing voice – which she is rather modest about. However, this is self-evident considering her achievements in Choir and Drama.

This year, Courtney travelled with the Stuartholme School Choir to Hong Kong for the 4th International Hong Kong Youth Music Festival to perform. Her performance and involvement in Drama has also been recognised, by her appointment as Drama Co-Captain for 2013.

Finally, Courtney’s display of leadership and character throughout her time in Amiens boarding house has been recognised through her appointment as Amiens Captain (Boarding).

We congratulate Courtney on her achievements this year, especially her two captaincy appointments and wish her all the best for another great year in 2013.

Student Formals

ALL DRESSED UP! As Cape York Leaders Program has gradually increased in students over the past three years, we are now beginning to witness the success in not just the overall number of students, but in particular the increased number of senior students (years 11 and 12). Term 4 is often an emotional one for our graduates who celebrate the end of their secondary schooling with their formals and graduation ceremonies.

As well as our year 11’s who finish their first leg and wind down before the final year with their semi formals.

Here are a collection of photographs from across a number of our partner schools.

Margaret spoke about university studies, staying on track, the importance of learning time management skills and reiterated that students are not alone and that there is support available if they need it.

We would like to congratulate all of our tertiary students on their efforts this year, you should all be very proud of yourselves.

Margaret also spoke about how Cape York Institute and the Cape York Leaders Program has assisted her through her journey and changed her life. Cape York Institute congratulates Margaret on the wonderful achievement of successfully completing her degree.

The year kicked-off with our Annual Induction workshop for first year university students, followed by continuous case management for all tertiary students, leadership conferences/events and the End-of-Year workshop. The workshops provide an opportunity for the students to evaluate and reflect on their efforts.

As the year comes to a close, our Tertiary students have been busy sitting exams, as well as attending Leadership conferences around Australia and abroad.

At the End of Year Workshop we were fortunate to hear from Margaret Blackman. Margaret has now completed her degree in Bachelor of Business majoring in Management and Entrepreneurship.

National Student Leadership Forum CANBERRA, SEPTEMBER 2012

By Arruna-Thutha Lawrie

Like any other leadership conference you come in expecting to attend leadership talks, ask questions to seminar hosts and learn how to be successful. However at this year’s National Student Leadership Forum held in Canberra there was something much different from what you’d usually expect. A lot happened during the entirety of the conference but I’ll speak about the highlights that really have touched and inspired me in the four days spent in Canberra.

On the first we went to parliament house and got to experience the House of Representatives where we witnessed both Julia Gillard and Tony Abbot raising issues. It was amazing to see how things are done in Parliament House. When it came to meeting a politician I’ve always had this mentality of thinking that politicians were cold dull people until our group sat down with the Minister for Regional Development and Tourism, Bob Baldwin Shadow. Listening to him crack jokes blew my way of thinking of politicians right out of the water, very down to earth but nevertheless a professional in his career, Bob shared with us his story of why he became leader in his industry, the sacrifices he made to get to his position and what his faith and values were.

On the topic of leadership, Mr Jock Cameron held a presentation about leadership and both Jock and Bob both explained how skills, talents, faith and values could strongly determine how you lead. This made me reflect and question myself, what are my own values, beliefs and what kind of leader I am to become?

I’ve never had any relatives that passed during a war but Arruna (back row 2nd from left) with other dele gates at the Conference during the trip to the war memorial and to be around people who have truly gave me an insight to what other people hold dear to them. It had never been clear to me until I felt the atmosphere generated from other student delegates and physically seeing each name of fallen soldiers that I realised something.

Group meetings were the most personal parts of the entire event.

Like me, I believe it’s important to have remembrance to your heritage On the first day we were allocated into groups with other students, who and elders and many other student delegates for their Australian Anzac at that point were complete strangers but, after spending four days at forefathers reflected this value of remembrance and ancestry equally. the forum sticking together, listening to each other’s views, personal The community service aspect of the program was amazing. Prior to journeys, crushing other delegates groups in the sports event, doing going into the streets of Canberra to help out, Senator Kate Lundy some community service and finally letting loose at the bush dance they addressed the forum and touched on how we can be leaders in the our became people who I knew better than my own previous housemates. own communities and explained the difference between how sending The experience I walked away with from the forum was invaluable. an email for a cause is worth nothing when compared to physically Being around people who are much different from myself yet all are “Getting your hands dirty” and helping in a community. The experience people who follow and are driven by their passion has really taught of helping an elderly stranger in their house and expecting nothing in me to be open minded about everyone and everything and has really return held a really unique feeling and it definitely inspired me to do it more often. inspired me to become a greater leader.

Meet Margaret Blackman My name is Margaret Blackman and I am a Gurang woman on my Great Grandfather’s side and a Gooreng Gooreng on my Great Grand Mothers’ side I am also of Yidinji on my Mothers’ Mother, I also have Torres Strait Islander heritage from Murray Island (Mer) and St Paul Island (Mabuiag).

My connection to Cape York is through my Grandfather who was born in Lockhart River and I also have family connection to Mapoon. I was born on the twenty-fourth of June 1983, and was bought up in Central, Southern and Far North Queensland Region.

During my younger years, I was taught the basics and values of my culture by my father Kerry Blackman and my mother Jacqui. My Grandmother (on my father’s side) was also instrumental in teaching me “values” in life of being “Aboriginal”.

My grandad (on my mother’s side) taught me cultural practices such as hunting, fishing and knowledge of the sea. Since then I have constantly strived to always further my knowledge of my culture and maintain connection to country and also uphold a high level of morals, scruples and values. I have learnt in my life that you have to work hard in order to reach your goals and achievements. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and also working in my role as Chairperson of the Bama Nguma-Barra Indigenous Student Association at James Cook University in Cairns. I am currently in my third year of studying a Bachelor of Business Management at JCU and will be graduating in 2013. I’m also a member of the Indigenous ‘Deadly’ Mentors program which is an initiative of Bama Nguma-Barra Indigenous Student Association. I am also a director of our four Traditional Owner organisations.

“Knowledge is Power.”

During my time at JCU, Cape York Institute have supported me both financially and emotionally, providing me with a laptop and bursary to help pay for books and a weekly allowance. They have also provided me with a CYI Tutor who was there when I needed support and encouragement.

CYI encouraged and supported me to attend National Indigenous Leadership Conferences throughout Australia. This has given me an opportunity to meet Indigenous leaders, business representatives from various organisations and future Indigenous leader’s forum around the country and also provided me with a strong network that I draw on for support with my future aspirations.

The skills and knowledge which I have gained through my studies I plan to use in my area of interest, which is to create innovative economic development in the remote and regional Indigenous communities. I intend on furthering my studies in 2013 undertaking my Master’s degree.

I am sincerely grateful to the Cape York Institute for Policy and Leadership for giving me this opportunity to gain my education and knowledge. I would encourage as many Indigenous people who are considering studying at University to give it a go for their future and their children, because you don’t know what you can do until you try.

"I have learnt in my life that you have to work hard in order to reach your goals and achievements."

We have been extremely busy the last half of the year with back to back leaders gathering together in Cairns for their phase specific training as part of their scholarships. There has certainly been a boost of energy with many new members this year coming together with existing members the dynamics are great.

On the program management front and behind the scenes the team has been working around the clock ensuring members have the resources they need to support their leadership development and personal journey over the next two years. The majority of our members have completed their Individual Leadership Development Plans (ILDP) and will be sharing them soon with CYLP staff and or their assigned mentor.

We have used the diagram below to help our members and stakeholders understand the different phases we have and have used the analogy of the growth of a tree as you progress through your journey.

Skilling Leaders Workshop hosted by Australian Institute of Management

Skilling Leaders Group at Toast Masters/Public Speaking Workshop Excelling Leaders Group at Training with Unique People Trainers (www.uniquepeopleservices.org)

The Youth Leaders phase is the beginning of your leadership journey. As you nurture the seedling stage of your development, you acquire the necessary skills to begin developing your leadership skills.

The Skilling Leaders phase is the next phase up from the seedling phase. Where the seedling stage nurtures your growth and development from the beginning, the Skilling Leaders phase gains momentum and further develops your leadership skills. At this phase you begin to develop the roots and find the strength in your abilities as a leader as you grow.

The Excelling Leaders phase is the third phase in your development as a leader. As an Excelling Leader it is expected that you are ready to have your roots firmly planted in a leadership position. This phase continues to challenge and in so doing, further develop your leadership skills and forge a successful career in a leadership role.
