THE Brisbane Broncos were at Tweed River High School on Friday for the launch of new mentoring program, Beyond the Broncos Indigenous Girls Academy.

Club legends and Indigenous ambassadors Justin Hodges and Scott Prince were joined by dual rugby and league international Bo de la Cruz and long term supporter of Indigenous Girls Academies, Preston Campbell for the launch of the Tweed Girls' Academy, which is designed for improving education and employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander youth.

The Indigenous Girls Academy first started on the Tweed in 2013 with a dedicated focus on Indigenous girls, retention, attendance and academic progress. It saw significant results in girls' participation, with almost all involved reaching 90% academic excellence.

Now reinstated, the program will operate at Banora Point High School, Murwillumbah High School, Wollumbin High School and Tweed River High School, and will be available to all Indigenous girls enrolled.

"Our first objective is always to make sure we have time for the kids. We'll go in and make sure they're relaxed, having a bit of fun, and we'll find out some information to try and help them succeed in life and that's what the program is all about,” Hodges said.

"Our whole program has always been about about trying to get kids over 90% (academically), so if they come up to 90%, obviously they're learning and getting a better education for the transition from school to work, university, Tafe, or whatever it will be.

"It's about making sure our kids' futures are bright.”

The program will include two student support officers based in the four schools, who will hold workshops and information sessions, starting with the Achieve Your Dreams workshop on Friday.

"At the end of the day, I don't think anyone can succeed without support, and a program like this can bring that support,” Campbell said.

"Mentors are a little bit different in that they don't come from the education department. They're people that are familiar faces that have been successful in their fields and they can definitely bring a lot.”

Prince, who has two daughters of his own, said he knows how important education and support can be.

He said he was honoured to be a part of the program, which he joked was like a Gold Coast Titans program, but with a bit more horse power.

"The message for me growing up at home was work before play, and to be able to share that message, I'm very passionate about that,” Prince said.

"Hopefully we hear lots of success stories in the coming years and I'm looking forward to playing a small part in kids' futures.”

The launch was opened by Tweed River Year 8 student Brooklyn Freer, who performed an acknowledgement to country, followed by school captain Layla Mackenzie, who sung Bura Fera in the Yorta Yorta language.

A total of 89 students at Tweed River and Banora High Schools are enrolled in the program, which runs right through the second semester.

"We're very passionate about helping out our kids. They're our future and one day we want them standing up here delivering the same message to other young kids,” Hodges said.
