On Friday Jess won the Public Education award for Excellence in Collective Wellbeing.  With the success of the award, it now means this worthwhile program will be funded to be rolled out in Indigenous communities across Australia.

We are all so proud and grateful that you are here at Golden Hill Steiner School.  Congrats Jess!

See Information below regarding the program Jess developed.

Culturally responsive sexual health education empowering collective wellbeing within Anangu communities and beyond.

The Kungka Ninti Program addresses the need for sexual health education for girls and women on the APY Lands.  This culturally sensitive program, guided by female community leaders, creates a safe wellbeing space within the school, encouraging open discussions about sexual health, mental health, wellbeing strategies, relationships and safety.

Central to the program's success is its culturally responsive delivery, incorporating learning on Country through an annual camp co-planned and delivered with Anangu educators, community Elders and families.  Resources are developed in First Nations language and storytelling through art serves as the main approach.

The Kungka Ninti Program exemplifies how a networked approach and collaboration with stakeholders leads to positive impacts on individual and collective wellbeing, empowering girls, women, and the broader community to connect, succeed and thrive.
