Go West supports Manea Senior College’s ‘Out On Country’ Expedition

Go West proudly supported Manea Senior College’s transformative ‘Out On Country’ expedition, where students immersed themselves in the rich Aboriginal history and culture of the Yandeyarra Remote Community School.

‘Out On Country,’, a week-long program was conceptualised by Manea Senior College teacher David Crawford.

Designed to offer students a unique and enduring educational journey, it provided an invaluable learning experience, fostering a deeper understanding of life and learning in a remote community.

This year's expedition was the most successful to date, with 38 students and 3 staff members participating and completing all planned projects, along with additional ones that arose during the trip.

As part of our commitment to community engagement, Go West provided comprehensive transportation support, including airport transfers from Bunbury (Manea Senior College) to Perth Airport, and a dedicated bus in Port Hedland for the entire five-day duration of the expedition. Upon the group's return, Go West also facilitated their airport transfer back to Bunbury.

David Crawford, Aboriginal Education Coordinator at Manea College, expressed his gratitude.

“On behalf of Manea Senior College, Follow the Dream, and the ‘Out On Country’ Program, I want to sincerely thank Go West for your unwavering support again this year.”

Brad Bunce, General Manager of Go West, echoed this sentiment.

“‘Out On Country’ offers Manea College students an amazing experience, and we couldn’t be prouder to support David and his vision to create life-changing learnings for the students.”

Go West remains committed to fostering strong community connections and supporting educational programs that enrich the lives of young people in Western Australia.
