Empowering Through Community Action: The WYLD Project
One of our standout initiatives is the WYLD project, which empowers students to shift their perspective from receiving to giving. Through engaging community projects, including volunteering on rural properties impacted by natural disasters, students discover the profound value of helping others. This not only builds empathy but also provides a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by rural communities.
Stronger Together: Connecting with Bundaberg
We are deeply committed to staying connected with the broader Bundaberg community. Initiatives like the Bundaberg Community League Tag Carnival bring students, community service workers, and local residents together. These events foster positive relationships and strengthen our ties to the area, creating a truly integrated learning experience.
MEET OUR HEAD OF SCHOOL
DARRYL MULHOLLAND
Hi, I’m Darryl Mulholland, Head of School at Y Schools Queensland Bundaberg Senior. I’ve been in education since 1994, starting in New Zealand and eventually finding my way to Australia, where I’ve been with Y Schools since 2017. Over the years, I’ve discovered that my true passions lie in leadership, physical education, and biological sciences—areas I focus on every day here at Bundaberg Senior.
My goal for the school is to provide young people with a fresh start and real opportunities to succeed. I’m working to build strong connections with local industries in agriculture, construction, and hospitality, helping students find meaningful pathways into employment. I’m also passionate about creating a vocational school that not only makes a difference for the students but also for their families and the wider community.
No matter their background, I believe every student has the potential for a brighter future, and I’m here to help them get there.
Y Schools Queensland acknowledges and pays respect to the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and operate – the Jagera, Turrbul, Gubbi Gubbi, Waka Waka, Quandamooka, Yugambeh and Gureng Gureng peoples. We pay our respect to Elders, past, present and emerging, and celebrate their continuing connection to land, community and culture.
