This week has involved working on COVID-19 poster translations for Aboriginal communities. So far we have Banjima, Nyangumarta and Yindjibarndi, with more in the works. If there any speakers that you know of, can you please get us in contact with them so we can effectively communicate information and do our best to prevent the spread.

Over the long weekend, Old Scotch Collegian Yarlalu Thomas ('15) travelled to Canberra to participate in the Australian of the Year awards, following him being named as WA Young Australian of the Year in 2019. While Yarlalu wasn't named Young Australian of the Year (congrats to Ash Barty!), we are proud of everything that he has achieved so far and are very excited to see what he does in the future.

Congrats Yarlalu! We are so proud of you and very grateful of the work you do with the current Scotch boys!
