RISE Program

RISE is Aurora’s major new initiative to redefine Indigenous success in education.

Over the next five years, Aurora will deliver and evaluate programs that enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander high school students to define and pursue their version of success with academic, cultural and wellbeing support.

Insights from 800 students will contribute to Australia-first insights about what works in Indigenous education, creating a platform for Indigenous-led advocacy, reform and self-determination.
