Keelan & Yalarna share their journey
WATCH NOWMITS is a transition school and boarding program for Indigenous students. Based on Wurundjeri Country in Richmond, our students come from remote and regional communities across the Top End of the NT and Victoria. Through MITS, our students go on to lead lives full of choice and opportunity.
We work with families from remote Northern Territory communities across Arnhem Land, Swan Hill, the Tiwi Islands, the Victoria Daly Region and the Roper Gulf Region.
MITS is a specialist Year 7-8 school and Year 7-12 boarding provider. Our classrooms and boarding houses are all based within 300m of each, creating a strong and connected student precinct right in the heart of Melbourne.
We work with great Pathways Schools across the Independent, Government and Catholic sectors. We value Pathways Schools which are culturally safe, provide for students with a range of learning needs and career aspirations, and are committed to empowering young Indigenous people and effecting Reconciliation.
Our alumni aspire to complete school in Melbourne or closer to home, to pursue further tertiary or vocational studies, to gain the skills and experience that will enable them to have great jobs, and to become leaders for their families and communities.
MITS acknowledges and respects the traditional custodians of the land on which it is based, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
