Billard Learning Centre adopts a practical approach to its work through these strategies:
Suicide prevention – community-to-community enabling processes by invitation
Blank Page Summit Hard Yarn – an annual gathering for collaborative transformation
My Action Plan (MAP) – a unique planning tool for individual development
Learning Centre – innovative learning and fresh approaches
Caring for Spring Country – cultural mapping and maintenance
We built Billard Learning Centre with our brothers from NSW
Billard Learning Centre was proudly built in 2009 by members of the Billard Aboriginal Community and the sheer hard work and dedication of an external technical crew from NSW (Michael Carson, Trent Woodleigh and Zen Joyce) with a grant of $45,000 from the Australian Government (FaHCSIA) and the vital support of Kullarri Regional CDEP (KRCI).
What a perfect spot!
We made it so we could move it!
Deadly design (thanks, Michael)!
See how easy it is!
Don’t panic, boys even though you’ve just heard the Minister’s coming next week!
Almost there, Nelson – just hold up the sky for a minute!
The morning of the Minister’s arrival – all done!
If only she knew how tired we were – Minister Jenny Macklin at Billard on 25 July 2009 (Trent Woodleigh, Michael Carson, Zen Joyce)
