Mikaela moved from Brewarrina to Dubbo three years ago and through her incredible determination, excellent attitude and organisation is now undertaking her first year in a Bachelor Degree in Veterinary Technology, staying on campus at Charles Stuart University. Mikaela said it was challenging being away from her home town and she missed her family, especially her little brother, but the staff at the hostel made it feel like home and supported her throughout her journey. Kristy Hill, the Head of Boarding at the Dubbo student hostel, has been part of the team supporting Mikaela since her arrival.  Kristy is incredibly proud of what Mikaela has achieved and said she is very well respected and a great role model for other students at the hostel.  Kristy is looking forward to celebrating more Year 12 graduates this year. Mikaela credits advice from Kristy, when times were tough, to helping her reach her goals.  That advice was: ‘Great things never came from comfort zones.  If you want to achieve great things, then you have to go beyond your comfort zone.  You won’t get anywhere by doing what you are used to.  You need to go beyond what you think you can do in order to see your full potential’. AHL is hoping we can support many more students move out of their comfort zone and achieve their dreams.  AHL is currently supporting 125 secondary education students and 48 tertiary students across education hostels in Dubbo, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Thursday Island, Kununurra and Tennant Creek.  If you are looking for supportive accommodation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students please contact our Heads of Boarding - Hostels contact page.   We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.   Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this website may contain images, names or printed material of deceased people.   Tariff Increase from 1 July 2020 Published: Tue, 26/05/2020 Aboriginal Hostel Limited (AHL) is PROUD to be able to offer a home away from home for Aboriginal and Torres S AHL – Protecting Residents and Staff Published: Thu, 26/03/2020 Every day we are monitoring the COVID 19 situation and adapting our business to provide the best care we can for our residents and our staff.
