Delivered by strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander female role models and mentors, the aim is to better connect with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls between the agesย of 8 and 17 as friends, confidants and mentors. DSG encourage and inspire these girls to become positive role models in their community and achieve every success in their schooling.ย
The program offers a safe and open environment where girls can express and discuss personal feelings and issues they may be facing. There are one-on-one and group mentoring activities available, that address key issues relating to Indigenous teenage women. These group mentoring activities include connecting participants with other schools and community services which are relevant to their needs. Each year group meet once a week for one hour.
To get involved in the DSG program, students should visit DSG staff for enrolment forms.
