MITS Program

Kingswood College is committed to reconciliation with Australia’s first peoples, and to playing a part in contributing to better education, opportunities and futures for Indigenous Australians. 

Kingswood College supports the great work undertaken by the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School (MITS) for Indigenous education in Australia, which has the potential to improve educational outcomes for Indigenous students and to create pathways for them to further education. Kingswood College, in partnership with MITS, is working to support Indigenous students to obtain a high-quality education, and we enrol Indigenous students from MITS into Year 9.

Indigenous Student Education Support Mentor

The Indigenous Student Education Support Mentor plays a key role in supporting MITS students at Kingswood College. They help build strong relationships between students, staff, and MITS; provide in-class educational support; and encourage participation in activities that aid students' transition. The role also includes advocating and fostering meaningful connections within the school community and actively contributes to initiatives that empower Indigenous students throughout their educational journey.

"MITS 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."
