We would for like to thank Centrecorp for all the support offered to Eli Clarke toward his goal of becoming a dancer over a number of years.

While in year 12 Eli was offered his first role with Opera Australia performing in Westside Story on the Sydney Harbour.

The following year he auditioned for Bangarra Dance Company and now is in his second year as a company member sharing stories of Aboriginal Australia at the highest level.

Only 1% of trained dancers will ever perform as professionals after over 10 years of intensive training. Centrecorp's support was vital in him accessing necessary professional training in Sydney and has given Eli the opportunity to represent Central Australia / Aboriginal culture on international and domestic stages.

Thanks

Centrecorp have been able to provide vital financial assistance to enable the people of Central Australia who are in housing need to secure tenancies with Anglicare NT in their Transitional Housing program. This government funded program requires payment of a bond much like private rental accommodation so that participants experience the real-world requirements of tenancy responsibilities. However, immediately coming up with the bond to secure a property is not easy for people who may be homeless and Centrecorp have ensured that those in the most need do not fall through the cracks. The solution has been for Centrecorp to loan the bond monies to the tenant via Anglicare. Since its inception late last year this facility has enabled 10 families to move into their rental property. They are re-paying the bond loans over a period of time, which will provide them with a valuable aid to transition to permanent accommodation when the time is right. Anglicare have a long term relationship with Centrecorp which has enabled the organisation to support some of the most vulnerable members of our community with setting up their homes and this assistance has been a vital part of the housing continuum.

Dear Centrecorp Foundation Team,

On behalf of Yirara College and our Central Region athletics team, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support in funding our students’ participation in the recent State Athletics Championship in Darwin.

Your contribution made it possible for our students to compete with pride and determination, and the results were truly inspiring. Our region achieved an outstanding 24 medals, with our Yirara mob proudly securing 14 of them. These achievements reflect the hard work, resilience, and spirit of our young athletes—many of whom represented their communities on a major stage for the first time.

While the event was filled with celebration and success, we also faced a moment of sadness when one of our students had to withdraw due to medical reasons. Their courage and strength remain a source of inspiration to us all.

Your support went beyond logistics—it empowered our students to believe in themselves and strive for excellence. You have helped create memories that will last a lifetime and opened doors to future opportunities for our young leaders.

Thank you for walking alongside us and investing in the potential of our young people. We are deeply grateful for your commitment to our students and community.

With appreciation,

Wilson Marsh Health and Physical Education Teacher
