Four young people from Skyline Education Foundation Australia are part of the very first group of Larita Academy graduates to hold a nationally recognised credential in their own name.

Congratulations to the seven graduates from the Class of 2026 who are the first cohort in the Academy's history to receive a Statement of Attainment for two units from the 11250NAT Certificate IV in Wellbeing Science. Four of those seven, Minh, Keely, Louise and Abbas, came to Larita Academy through Skyline Education Foundation Australia.

The units cover self-efficacy and creating positive connections. These are not abstract topics. They are skills the graduates lived, practised and demonstrated right across the program, and now have on the record for good.

"Receiving this credential meant more than just having something to add to my qualifications. It gave me a greater awareness and understanding of myself and others, which I know will be valuable in my future workplace and in the way I interact with people."  

Keely - Skyliner

What stands out is that these four embraced the opportunity in front of them. The learning was already done. Claiming the credential meant going back to their workbooks, gathering the evidence and submitting it, that is initiative, and it is exactly the mindset Larita Academy sets out to fuel.

“We’re incredibly proud of Minh, Keely, Louise and Abbas. This achievement reflects their initiative, determination, and willingness to make the most of every opportunity. Our partnership with Larita Academy gives Skyline students the chance to build confidence and practical skills beyond the classroom and having that learning formally recognised gives them something tangible to carry forward into further education, employment and whatever comes next.”

Samantha MacRae – CEO Skyline Foundation

For some Larita graduates this is the first formal qualification to carry their name, which is a wonderful thing to hold. It sits permanently on their national training record, can be added to a resume and LinkedIn profile, and may count as credit towards the full Certificate IV.

A big shout out to Samantha and the team at Skyline Education Foundation Australia, who back these young people every step of the way. The credentials are issued through our partner re:cognition, a Registered Training Organisation specialising in wellbeing science, at no cost to graduates.
