Why It's Important?

The initiative is particularly beneficial for children from low-socioeconomic and Indigenous communities, offering them a chance to explore new horizons and develop essential skills for their future.

SeaLink and Children's University Adelaide will continue to collaborate on educational initiatives, with plans to expand the program's reach and impact. The partnership aims to inspire more young learners across South Australia, encouraging them to participate in educational activities and track their progress. Graduation ceremonies at partnering universities will continue to celebrate students' achievements, reinforcing the value of learning and aspiration. SeaLink's ongoing support will play a vital role in making educational experiences accessible and exciting for children in unique and remote communities.
