Good Spirit Learning
The Good Spirit Learning Program brings young people together to build positive relationships, strengthen teamwork and develop a strong sense of connection. Through personal development activities, cultural experiences and group-based learning, participants are supported to grow in confidence, respect and resilience.
In 2026, the Young Warriors and Young Yorgas programs came together for the first time, creating opportunities for participants to build stronger connections across the group. While the program began with some challenges, a consistent focus on connection, teamwork and positive relationships saw participants grow in confidence, develop mutual respect and form meaningful friendships.
By the end of the semester, participants were working together as one united group, actively engaging in activities and creating a strong sense of belonging and community.
Regional School Holiday Program
The Regional School Holiday Program delivers cultural sessions in towns across the Southwest, Wheatbelt and Great Southern Regions in the four school holiday periods/year. In these sessions, participants engage in cultural learning, play Traditional Indigenous Games and learn more about how to live a healthy lifestyle and enjoyed a healthy lunch. In each location, we work with local partners such as Southwest Aboriginal Medical Service, City of Kwinana, City of Mandurah, local PCYC’s, Avon Community Services and many local government shires.
Muay Thai Program
The IIWS Muay Thai Program, delivered in partnership with Rampage Muay Thai, provides Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people with a culturally safe, supportive and engaging environment to build confidence, discipline, physical wellbeing and positive relationships.
Through structured Muay Thai training, fitness activities, mentoring and teamwork, participants develop valuable skills both inside and outside the training space. The program encourages young people to stay active, build self-esteem, practise respect and discipline, and develop resilience while forming strong connections with peers and positive role models.
The program also creates opportunities for families and the wider community to come together through sport and culture. Community activities incorporate traditional Indigenous games, cultural experiences and Muay Thai demonstrations, helping strengthen relationships and create positive pathways for young people.
At its heart, the Muay Thai Program is about more than learning to fight — it is about building confidence, connection, discipline and a strong sense of belonging through sport, culture and community.
