JCU’s IERC Summer School for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students
The Summer School conducts pre-programs for prospective Indigenous school leavers who are seeking to gain entry into 一本道in 2025. It is run over a five-day period during the Summer school holidays and is taught by us here at the Indigenous Education and Research Centre (IERC). The focus is to build capabilities in Math, English, Chemistry and tertiary study skills. IERC staff run the program and supervise academic and recreational activities, with the help of Indigenous Student Ambassadors at JCU. The students will live on campus and take part in academic lectures and team-building activities. This interaction provides opportunities to meet University staff and students and form bonds with other students in the program.
一本道covers all costs associated with the program, including travel to and from Townsville, accommodation and catering costs for all participants. Accommodation is at the Saints Residential College on the Bebegu Yumba campus where students will be fully supervised at all times. On-campus accommodation allows for a complete university experience!
You will get to participate in experiments and develop critical reading and writing skills. Our sessions will introduce you to:
- Academic literacy;
- Mathematics; and
- Chemistry
Come along to boost your confidence and skills and prepare your future with this higher education opportunity!

“I attended the 2022 Indigenous Summer School all the way from Deniliquin NSW, Koori country. Summer School gave me the opportunity to experience what university life was like, it helped me build basic knowledge and the skills to commence my own university studies in 2023.
The experience helped me grow confidence in my ability to move away from home and live and study on my own. Meeting and becoming close with everybody who works in the Indigenous Education and Research Centre made me feel so comfortable and safe within the space.
The students and staff have become like family, and I wouldn’t be on this journey without their continued support and the warm experiences I had at Summer School."
