A6. Case Studies 

CASE STUDY 1 

Student A 

Student A is an Indigenous Year 9 student who has recently joined the Academy. She is 

a new student who moved to Kalgoorlie from the Coonanna Remote Aboriginal 

Community. She is from a traditionally cultural background, with English being her 

second language. She is extremely shy and wasn’t too sure or comfortable with her new 

surroundings. 

Since being enrolled with the Academy, staff has seen Student A slowly getting used to 

the school and the Academy. The Academy is able to provide a safe environment for 

her to feel comfortable and get to know other students and staff. A rapport is gradually 

being built with this student and she is opening up to academy staff and she is a regular 

visitor to the Academy rooms before school and during lunches. 

CASE STUDY 2 

Student B 

Student B is a Year 10 Indigenous student who first joined the Academy in 2010, but left 

the school during the first term; she now has returned to Kalgoorlie and has re-enrolled 

with the Academy. This student is usually a confident, positive and happy student with 

high attendance. This student has a very rough and traumatic history. She is a Ward of 

the State and has moved around from place to place quite frequently. Recently this 

student has had to deal with grief due to a number of losses within her family and she 

was witness to a tragic incident. She is at risk and has had a small drop in attendance. 

Since returning to school after these events, Student B has not wanted to attend class 

and has been truant. 

Academy Staff are providing mentoring and are closely monitoring the behaviour and 

attendance of this student. Student B has a strong rapport with Academy staff and looks 

at the Academy room as her safe haven. The Academy staff have been successful with 

getting Student B back on track, back into class, and helping her increase her 

attendance. She is once again coping with being at school and showing signs of 

improvement. Student B has grown with confidence, being involved in ‘mock interviews’ 

and completing her resume in the Academy room. She has gone on to apply and 

interview for the ANZ Bank Aboriginal School Based Traineeship that is setup by the 

AFL Sports ready program. Due to the improvement of this student, the Academy 

rewarded her by selecting her to attend the End of Year Reward Camp to the Gold 

Coast.

Academy Highlights 

LITERACY AND NUMERACY/PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT 

These Literacy/Numeracy/Personal Development classes are designed to focus on 

assisting students with further development whilst attending our classes. The class is 

held one period per week for each year group. We aim to increase the skills that are 

necessary for them when they complete high school. 

Throughout the year students have been participating in lessons such as completing a 

number of newsletter articles for the Academy and the school; practise grammar, 

punctuation and spelling; and students create a children’s book. This is a great way for 

the Academy to contribute in any way possible to the whole school literacy plan. 

TEAM CHALLENGE CLASSES 

The Academy Team Challenge classes add a fun element to learning. It is a fantastic 

way to further develop our students’ communication, interpersonal and leadership skills. 

This class is run once each week per year group. Each term is a different theme; Term 1 

– Team Work, Term 2 – Wacky Games, Term 3 – Olympics and Term 4 – KGA World 

Bank. Students participate in a variety of challenges such as an Amazing race, mine 

fields, survivor challenges, KGA record attempts, researching and designing countries, 

arts and craft projects and also games based on different careers. 

BHP Nickel West Netball Carnival 

The Nickel West Netball Tournament was a huge success again this year with schools 

from across the Kalgoorlie region participated in the event. The event is sponsored by 

BHP Nickel West, a long time sponsor of the Girls Academy. This event is solely run by 

Year 10 KGA students as part of their Endorsed Program duties and is a great way to 

showcase their talents as organisers and for their fellow students to showcase their 

sportsmanship and athletic skills. Students and the Academy received high praise from 

participating schools and sponsors for the success of the event. 

BASKETBALL AND OTHER SPORT DEVELOPMENT CLASSES 

Each year group will participate in basketball lessons, which are delivered off school site 

at the Brookman Street Basketball Stadium. 


This is a positive strategy to keep the girls interested and it helps to push them to further 

developing their basketball skills. An Indigenous parent volunteer assists in delivering 

the Year 9 basketball development session, with whom the girls have built strong rapport 

and respect greatly. They really enjoy the parent volunteer helping out during this 

session. 

Our students are also exposed to a number of other different sports, such as netball, 

tennis, volleyball, athletic events, cricket and a variety of fun games. The sport that is 

chosen coincides with what is happening locally on the sporting calendar and keeps 

things fresh. They have two “Physical Education” lessons, one basketball and the other 

a different sport. 

YEAR 10 ENDORSED PROGRAM – PGST (School Trip) and PGAM (Administration 

Management) 

This program is important for our Year 10 girls because if they successfully complete the 

course, they will earn points towards their Year 12 Western Australian Certificate of 

Education (WACE). They must complete 90 hours of the Endorsed Program. Students 

are allocated with 2 Periods per week to do planning and keep up to date with their 

record keeping. Students also can complete their work at home, before or after school 

and during lunches. 

The PGST School Trip students primarily assist the school Country Week Coordination 

with planning and organising of the Country Week trip to Perth. This is a major school 

event and girls are doing an excellent job in keeping up to date with tasks. Some tasks 

include calling restaurants, booking accommodation, typing and organising meal 

selections for staff and students, organising equipment, and also organising a night of 

fun activities whilst on the camp. 

The PGAM Administration Management students work closely with the KBCHS 

Academy Teacher to setup and organise important annual KGA events, such as the 

Nickel West Netball Carnival and the Barrick Go for Gold Basketball Tournament. These 

events are student driven as the girls organise every part of the events such as venue 

hire, trophies, inviting schools and organise community groups to come to the event for 

first aid and food etc. The girls also organise teams and help with coaching, umpiring, 

sponsor support, scoring and timing. 

WEDNESDAY TUTORING – EGC 

Students at our senior campus have contact time with Academy staff each Wednesday. 

These sessions are mainly used for mentoring, tutoring and keeping girls up to date with 


studies. Students attending on this day to complete studies and tasks are provided with 

and have access to computers, Academy staff and room, teachers and ITAS tutors. 

These sessions plays a vital role in assisting students in achieving their graduation. It 

also is an opportunity to make contact with students just for a chat to see how they are 

and if they are coping. Also from time to time lunch is provided for students to help keep 

the girls focused. 

‘GO FOR GOLD’ BASKETBALL CARNIVAL 

This event is run by our Year 10 students as part of their endorsed program. The event 

was a successful day. There were teams from CAPS Coolgardie, John Paul College, 

Eastern Goldfields College KGA, Kalgoorlie Boulder Community High School and our 

Academy KGA teams. We had four teams in each division and the competition was 

fierce. The Junior Grand Final was won by JPC and our KGA EGC team won the Senior 

division. A new addition to the day saw a match played by the Barrick All-stars team, 

which consisted of Barrick employees who played against a combined KGA/Teachers/ 

Parents team. Players from both teams fought hard for the win, but even with our huge 

cheer squad of students, the Barrick All-stars managed to walk away with bragging 

rights. Fun was had by all involved and all schools have made our carnival a permanent 

event on their school calendars. 

BODY ARMOUR – PLAY 

KBCHS Indigenous Academy students along with boys from the Goldfields Football 

Academy were invited to see a play put on by Hepatitis WA called Body Armour. The 

play was funny and it also showed the serious side of Hepatitis. I had a Year 9 KGA 

student stand up and welcome the actors and organisers to our country; this was a great 

opportunity to see our young Indigenous leaders show confidence at a community event. 

Our students enjoyed the play and were very well behaved. 

KGA vs GOLDFIELDS FOOTBALL ACADEMY – BASKETBALL COMPETITIONS 

Students from each year group in the KGA were given the opportunity to compete 

against the boys from the Goldfields Football Academy. Each game was held during the 

school lunch break. Having this competition provides our students with the chance to 

gain necessary game experience and it gives them a boost in confidence when playing 

against harder opponents. This year our girls fought hard and showed great resilience, 

but unfortunately were not successful at defeating the boys. 

KALGOORLIE BOULDER BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (KBBA) - LOCAL 

COMPETITION 

Year 9 and 10 Academy students have recently begun competing in the Local Kalgoorlie 

Boulder Basketball Association competition. This year the Academy entered one Under 

17’s team. The team is organised, coached and supported by parent volunteers and 

Academy staff. Students train in the school gym after school twice per week to increase 

their skills. Students are also exposed to participating in coaching and umpiring during 

classes, as it gives our students a better understanding of the game. This is a positive 

strategy to strengthen relationships of students, parents and community so they want to 

stay involved in the Academy. 


NAB SCHOOLS FIRST AWARD - ACADEMY PARTNERSHIP WITH BARRICK GOLD 

NAB CHEQUE PRESENTATION 

The partnership 

between the 

Academy, 

Kalgoorlie-Boulder 

Community High 

School, Eastern 

Goldfields College 

and Barrick Gold 

Australia-Pacific 

mining company 

was rewarded with 

a $30,000 grant in 

the NAB Schools 

First Awards. 

The partners collaborated to develop and implement a program of activities to re-engage 

students and to provide pathways for future study or employment. 

Barrick Gold provides work experience opportunities and sponsors a basketball 

competition for students. The Barrick Gold employees act as mentors and positive role 

models for the students with the school seeing 

an increase in attendance since implementing 

the mentoring program. 

Barrick Gold Kanowna Mine General Manager 

Graeme Ovens said that Barrick was proud to 

be involved in a program that is making a real 

difference for Indigenous and non-Indigenous 

girls in the Goldfields. 

We would like to acknowledge the National 

Australia Bank on their commitment to regional 

Indigenous educational initiatives and thank 

them for their support and generosity of a 

$30,000 grant which will go towards developing 

the girls leadership, graduation and sporting 

goals. 


VET Program Students 

Academy staff provide a supporting role to students that 

are enrolled in the VET program. They come to us with 

any issues and concerns that they may be experiencing 

and we contact appropriate staff to assist them. 

Students enrolled in a VET course work towards 

achieving their Year 12 WACE graduation and another 

certificate in their chosen qualification.

B3. POST-SCHOOLING OPTIONS 

BARRICK GOLD – WORK PLACEMENT 

This work placement opportunity was provided for Indigenous Year 10 students. We had 

one student participate in an 8-week program that involved gaining valuable work place 

experience and an introduction to various roles and careers that Barrick offers their 

employees. This was a successful program, with the student receiving excellent training 

from Barrick staff and furthering her knowledge of the mining industry. 

LEARN, EARN, LEGEND! WORK EXPOSURE WITH GOVERNMENT PROGRAM - 

CANBERRA 

Two Academy students were 

selected to join other Academy 

students to be part of the LEL 

Work Exposure with Government 

Program that was held in 

Canberra. Students were 

exposed to the work of 

Parliamentarians and public 

service officers in Australian 

Public Service agencies in 

Canberra. They also gained 

firsthand experience of political life 

and learnt about the variety of employment opportunities available in the public sector. 

The program included a variety of activities that encouraged participants to consider 

possible opportunities available for a career in the public service. They also were able to 

increase their knowledge for civics education. 


BHP Billiton Nickel West – Onsite Tour 

This activity will focus on introducing our Year 11 and 12 students to different areas of 

employment within the nickel mining industry. Students will undertake an Induction and 

take a tour with female staff at the Kalgoorlie Nickel Smelteer.

B5. SIGNIFICANT VARIATIONS 

The Academy has faced a few changes in 2012, which have causes minor challenges to 

running and delivering the scheduled Academy activities. 

Issue #1: Transportation 

In Semester 1, due to the large number of students enrolled in each year group, 

Academy staff were not been able to transport students to an off school site training 

facility to conduct intense basketball development sessions. This had a negative impact 

on student participation, as the off-site trainings are a positive way to keep students 

engaged and wanting to push themselves harder. 

Mid to late Term 3, the Academy received a vehicle sponsored by Barrick Gold. Having 

this vehicle has made transporting students to and from the facility possible. The 

Academy is more appealing to students as a result. 

Issue #2: Academy Staff Changes 

There have been a number of changes with staff in 2012 for the Academy. There have 

been three Academy Teachers at KBCHS, two Academy Teachers at EGC, two 

Development Officers and two Program Managers. Unfortunately this has been a 

disruptive for staff and students, and it has been quite a challenge to meet certain 

deadlines for Academy activities and events. Also, consistency is always important 

when delivering a successful program. 

The Academy will have full time staff and will operate at full capacity by the beginning of 

Term 1, 2013. There may also be a possibility to employ a part time Development 

Officer for the KBCHS campus. 


Issue #3: Unable to attend 2012 Academy Showcase 

The KGA did not attend the Clontarf Girls Academy Showcase this year. This is a huge 

event on the Academy calendar and is a major reward that the girls look forward to 

attending each year. Unfortunately, due to staffing availability we were unable to attend. 

This camp will happen again in 2013, and now that we have adequate Academy staff 

and support, we look forward to being able to be in attendance. 

B6. Amendments 

Highlight any amendments you will make to your project in Semester Two as a 

result of what you have learned in Semester One. 

Highlight any amendments you will make to your project in 2013 as a result of what you 

have learned in 2012. 

Work Readiness and Work Placement 

In 2013 the Academy will endeavour to implement a stronger “Workplace Readiness and 

Work Placement” program to ensure students are provided with opportunities to 

undertake traineeships and other forms of training and accreditation. The aim is for all 

students to attain at least Certificates I and II in an area or areas most suited to their 

future career choice. Academy staff will begin to organise meetings with key 

stakeholders to have things sorted for next year. 

Nuari Girls Program 

Staff will work to strengthen the Nuari Girls Program and ensure it is ready for 2013. We 

will attempt to increase numbers and develop an outline of activities for students 

involved. Staff will research ideas to possibly get students to work on accreditation and/ 

or establish a Life Skills program. 


B7. Community Engagement 

Primary School Visits 

Year 9 students will conduct basketball developments, clinics, and promotional talks to 

Year 7 primary school students during Week 8 of Term 4. This will promote the 

Academy and spark interest of students that will be entering into high school in 2013. 

International Women’s Day 

This is a very successful event; students prepare and provide morning tea to their 

mothers, female school staff and key community stakeholders and members. 


Basketball and Netball Carnivals 

Each year the Academy hosts a Basketball and Netball carnival for schools from across 

the Kalgoorlie region. These events are organised and run by Academy students and 

staff. Our events have once again been successful and are a positive way to get out 

into the community and showcase the high level of confidence, leadership and athletic 

skills our students have to offer. 

BHP Nickel West Netball Carnival 

The Nickel West Netball Tournament was a huge success again this year with schools 

from across the Kalgoorlie region participate in the event. The event is sponsored by 

BHP Nickel West, a long time sponsor of the Girls Academy. This event is solely run by 

Year 10 KGA students as part of their Endorsed Program duties and is a great way to 

showcase their talents as organisers and for their fellow students to showcase their 

sportsmanship and athletic skills. Students and the Academy received high praise from 

participating schools and sponsors for the success of the event. 

NICKELWEST NETBALL CARNIVAL 2012 CHAMPIONS 


Barrick Go for Gold Basketball Carnival 

The Barrick Go For Gold Basketball Carnival was a huge success this year with schools 

from across the Kalgoorlie region participating in the annual event. Sponsored by 

Barrick Gold Kanowna Mine, a long standing partner and sponsor of the Girls Academy. 

the event is hosted and coordinated by our Year 10 students as part of their endorsed 

program. The event received teams from CAPS Coolgardie, John Paul College, Eastern 

Goldfields College KGA, Kalgoorlie Boulder Community High School and our Academy 

KGA teams. 

A new addition to the day saw a match played by the Barrick All-stars team, which 

consisted of Barrick employees who played against a combined KGA/Teachers/Parents 

team. Players from both teams fought hard for the win, but even with our huge cheer 

squad of students, the Barrick All-stars managed to walk away with bragging rights. Fun 

was had by all involved and all schools have made our carnival a permanent event on 

their school calendars. 


YMCA ‘You Can Do It’ Program – Year 10’s 

This program was offered to the Academy by the YMCA. The program ran between 

8-10 weeks. The YMCA are keen to further develop a partnership with our Academy. 

This is a great way for our students to make use of this community facility and to get 

more youth active in community organisations. The facility provides a variety of 

activities from exercise programs, gym equipment, squash courts, a variety of youth 

activities and child care. The academy received positive feedback YMCA staff and our 

students. 

2012 Academy Awards 

Over 100 community members were in attendance at the nineties themed 2012 

Academy Awards event at the Western Mining Centre. Academy staff, students, 

families, committee members, sponsors, invited guests, and leading Indigenous 

community members joined in the celebrations for our annual awards event showcasing 

the achievements of our Academy girls.
