The Alumni Effect

Our extraordinary Moorambilla Alumni shape and guide our future – and the future looks bright indeed.

Our investment into the region amplified their capacity at every level, and the return is a cohort that is resilient and has grit and true potential as leaders in the arts sector and beyond.

This is a common model in the arts sector and is grounded in generosity and long-term thinking. When any organisation has high expectations of and invests in the skillset of the next generation of leaders, we enhance not only our organisation but all others with which it interacts.

Alumni of any organisational structure are a powerful asset to ensure relevance, the strength of organisational culture, and a “life with meaning” well beyond their time with you. Connected alums are not jaded Gen X! They are empowered leaders connected to place and purpose.

As our Moorambilla alums return as artists, administrators, parents, volunteer supervisors, advocates and entrepreneurs, they grow the power of that initial connection and our belief in their raw ability.

This weekend for example,, as we commence our 2024 residential camp program, we welcome back alumni members Daisy Andrews as a MAXed OUT supervisor and AD Assistant,  Meg Callender as Birralli Ensemble Manager and Josh Doctor as assistant choreographer for our MAXed OUT company. 

Seeing their belief that they are worthy and that the sky is the limit for what they can bring to this country and the world stage is wonderful.

That self–belief grows stronger with each generation that passes through the program. Every sector in the economy can learn from the strength of this process and connection.

This quiet confidence and joy keep the Moorambilla organisational culture strong, and the fabric we have woven of resilience, tenacity, Language and laughter will ensure that our ability to continue to walk together with inclusion and respect for each other, and the oldest living culture on the planet continues for the next 200 years!

We empower alumni so they may, in turn, empower themselves. This is a mutually beneficial scenario; we can all be proud of and support their empowerment.
