Swan Bay, Port Stephens NSW
Bachelor of Education (Primary)
Scholarship Category: Indigenous

A young Wiradjuri/Wollabung woman, Renae feels it’s part of her duty, passion and spirit to be an educator.

Hear first-hand why our 2019 Ma & Morley scholar, Renae, chose to apply and his experience as part of the scholarship program.

Renae has long been a role model for younger girls in her community – across sport, school, education and the workplace. She’s volunteered her time to teach children in local schools about Aboriginal culture, raised funds to start an Aboriginal netball club for girls and women – the Koori Dolphins in the Port Stephens area – and ran a ‘sister speak’ program promoting social and emotional wellbeing in schools. After starting off working as a teacher’s aide, Renae is now completing a Bachelor of Education (Primary) and is looking forward to creating more positive change in her community. She believes that by teaching and celebrating culture we can reduce discrimination and racism in future generations.
