Aboriginal educator representative As an Aboriginal man of Ngarrindjeri descent, an Aboriginal Education Worker with over 10 years experience, and a flourishing tertiary student of teaching, I sincerely verify the enduring success and achievements of the Wiltja program. For over 25 years Wiltja has serviced Anangu adolescents with its commitment to empowering the future generations of Indigenous peoples of 30 different remote communities. With its consistency, focus on student retention and key quality educational outcomes, the Wiltja Program has achieved notable accomplishments in Year 9 student retention and the creation of relevant SACE subjects with a literary focal point across the curriculum. Regular Year 12 graduates are also a declaration of success with five graduates in 2007 and a total of 31 graduates since Coupled with a strong positive school ethos adopted by its staff, the Wiltja Program is a beacon of achievement and a case in point for all Indigenous schools Australia wide.
