Ulladulla High School is among the big winners in the latest round of Australian Government education grants. The Member for Gilmore, Joanna Gash has announced local projects have been approved for funding under the Whole of School Intervention Strategy, including two from Ulladulla High School.

Ulladulla High School has secured more than $50,000 for its Milton-Ulladulla Homework Centre ($31,137.50) and Milton-Ulladulla Community Learning Centre ($19,101.80) projects. The Whole of School Intervention Strategy focuses on the implementation of creative approaches to improving the education outcomes of indigenous school students.

The Milton Ulladulla Homework Centre will provide a conducive environment to work and complete homework, with the assistance of qualified tutors, teachers and indigenous mentors.

The Milton Ulladulla Community Learning Centre will enable students to have their school-based learning reinforced in an environment supported by aboriginal aides, parents and community leaders.

“The Ulladulla High School projects are worthy recipients of the grants and the school’s principal, Tracey Provest, should be congratulated for championing the plans,” Mrs Gash said.
