Our Team
Sarah Bourke
Centre Manager
Sarah is a proud product of the region, and as a lifelong educator she understands the power of education as a tool for social change and has worked across a range of sectors including education, community sport, philanthropy and government. She is passionate about building the capacity of the community in which she lives and helping students succeed in whichever way success looks like to them. Having seen firsthand how many doors a high-quality education can open, being part of an organisation that helps regional students achieve their goals and stay local is truly rewarding for her, along with helping them in any way she can, especially in navigating the (sometimes) complex university environment.
