Guest speakers <\/span><\/h3>\n

Mitch Tambo<\/strong> \u2013 A proud Gamilaraay man, Mitch blends traditional Aboriginal sounds and language with contemporary beats and production. His First Nations\u2019 version of You\u2019re The Voice saw him reach the Finale of Australia\u2019s Got Talent. But it was a pathway program that switched him onto learning after adopting a less than enthusiastic approach in school. Passionate about education and diversity awareness, Mitch is a much sought-after commentator, cultural practitioner and motivator.<\/p>\n

Brendan Murray<\/strong> \u2013 Palawa man Brendan Murray doesn\u2019t have great memories of school, where he experienced violence, bullying and racism. He left barely literate in Year 9. At 26, an adult literacy program helped him to overcome years of stigma and shame to ultimately become an inspiration to others on transformative power of education, culture and resilience.<\/p>\n

Dottie Wilson<\/strong> \u2013 Coming from a small regional town, Dottie struggled with the stigma of being a foster kid and school drop-out. But she started measuring success by how much she could prove everyone wrong. By demonstrating there\u2019s no single pathway to success, Dottie won the ABC\u2019s Heywire competition, along with not one but two TAFE NSW Excellence Awards.<\/p>\n

Nathan Lyons<\/strong> \u2013 Nathan was raised by a single mum in a housing commission flat, and money was tight. His mum stretched their shoestring budget by creating tasty meals with basic ingredients. Now a father of six, he is teaching others his mother\u2019s tasty, simple, budget-friendly meals in his video program Kooking with a Koori, which is now a Tik Tok sensation.<\/p>\n

Alyssa Hand<\/strong> \u2013 Alyssa is an inspiration to the disadvantaged young people she now educates and mentors at a local community centre in South Australia. But she\u2019s had to navigate her own rocky road of addiction and depression to find her place in the world \u2013 helped along the way by an inspiring careers counsellor.<\/p>\n

Mandy Gosetti<\/strong> \u2013 After her partner died, Mandy found there was much more to deal with than loss. Her role in the world had changed, along with the practical support she once had. She had to quickly upskill to fill the gaps her partner left. Then through a happy confluence of accident and design, Mandy now helps hundreds of people who have lost a partner to gain new skills, confidence and friendships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
