These words by Helen Keller perfectly capture the essence of our collaboration with SECL (South East Community Links). At IBY, we firmly believe in the power of partnerships and community engagement to bring about meaningful change.

Since our inception, we have forged a strong alliance with SECL, working hand in hand to create a lasting impact in the lives of students and communities in South East Melbourne. Our collaboration with SECL has been a cornerstone of our journey, amplifying our reach and effectiveness.

Together, we have designed and delivered tailored workshops and programs that address the specific needs and aspirations of the students in the CALD community. By leveraging SECL’s deep-rooted connections within the community, we have been able to engage with students, schools, and communities, empowering them to embrace their true potential.

The collaboration between IBY and SECL has been a testament to the power of collective action. Through our shared commitment to fostering educational equity and social inclusion, we have facilitated mentorship programs, and provided valuable resources to empower students from diverse backgrounds. Together, we have been able to create an ecosystem of support, where students feel seen, heard, and encouraged to dream big.

As we move forward, we remain steadfast in our commitment to deepening our collaboration with SECL and continuing our joint efforts to create a brighter future for the students and communities we serve. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive society where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
