Bravus Australia Named Presenting Partner of NRL Cowboys House Girls Campus

Bravus Australia has entered a new phase of its community investment by becoming the Presenting Partner of the Girls Campus at NRL Cowboys House.

This partnership represents a strategic alignment between Bravus Australia and the Cowboys Community Foundation, with both organisations focused on providing education and career opportunities for young people from regional and remote areas of North and Far North Queensland.

Commenting on the partnership, Bravus Australia CEO, Mick Crowe stated, said: “This partnership isn’t symbolic. It’s about education, life skills, and turning classroom learning into practical outcomes.

“Through our mining, rail and port operations, we can show these young women how their learning connects to real careers available close to home,” Crowe said.

Cowboys Community Foundation CEO Fiona Pelling noted that Bravus has delivered more than $700,000 in grants to local organisations since 2019, making this presenting partnership a natural progression for one of the region’s most committed community contributors.

“Bravus have been one of our most committed community partners since 2019, and this partnership is the natural next step in a relationship built on shared values,” Ms Pelling said.

“This partnership sends a powerful message to every student, family and community we serve – together, we are building a stronger future for us all.”

Bravus Australia Supporting Education

Since its inception in 2019, the Girls Campus has supported 43 graduates who moved from remote communities to pursue their secondary education.

The facility provides a comprehensive wraparound support model that includes:

• Boarding and Wellbeing: Providing a stable living environment and health support for students living away from home.
• Cultural Connection: Ensuring students remain connected to their heritage while studying.
• Career Transitions: A dedicated Graduate Program designed to empower young women as they move into further education, training, or employment.

Honouring Pioneers Through Art

To commemorate this partnership, a life-sized mural has been unveiled at the campus entrance featuring the five pioneering graduates from the class of 2020: Nahlani Ah Kit, Alkere Forester, Babetha Neliman-Nona, Ataya Pearson, and Mara-Leah Sewter.

The artwork includes a deliberate border, allowing current students to add their own artistic expressions and turn the mural into an evolving symbol of shared identity.

Bravus has been a staple of the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys’ community network since 2019.

The company’s history of support includes:

• Try for 5!
• Adopt-a-School
• Elite Sponsorship
• NRLW Support
