Community Kickstart
2025 Grant Recipient

We’re absolutely thrilled to share some exciting news! We’re pleased to announce that Ngutu College has been chosen as the well-deserved recipient of the 2025 ISPT Community Kickstart Grant! They’ll be receiving a $10,000 grant to help them continue their incredibly important work right here in the community.

Ngutu College is an independent, not-for-profit K-12 college in Woodville North, passionately committed to redesigning schooling to be genuinely equitable, culturally informed, and authentically child-centered. Supporting over 290 children and young people, many from Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds and St Clair, they strive to provide exceptional educational experiences.

As recipients of the 2025 Community Kickstart Grant, they’ll be able to proudly elevate their “Spare Seat” program, offering tailored outdoor adventures like stand-up paddleboarding and trail walking for senior learners from Years 7-10. This energetic initiative will promote well-being, inclusivity, belonging, and vital life skills, creating aspirational opportunities young people might not otherwise access, helping them thrive beyond the classroom and fostering a lasting positive impact.

A huge thank you to all the amazing community groups who applied for this grant. Your dedication to our community is truly inspiring!
