Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.

The Former Origin Greats (FOGS) ARTIE (Achieving Results Through Indigenous Education) Academy assists to ‘Close the Gap’ in educational outcomes between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and their non-Indigenous peers.  It provides Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students attending Queensland Schools the opportunity to participate in a program that encourages and rewards improvements in school attendance, behaviour, academic achievement, effort and ultimately Year 12 attainment or its equivalent.

The ARTIE Academy operates with high expectations for effort, behaviour, achievement and commitment. The ARTIE Academy’s fundamental vision is to inspire its participants, encourage and inform students of their progress, and celebrate their successes.  The ARTIE Academy’s priority is to ensure that the program’s integration into the school day is as least disruptive as possible, ensuring the Academy’s methods of communication are clear, effective and wide reaching.
