Richard Williams, Ty Powell, Michael Parker, Tristan Kennedy, Kyle Daly-Stevenson, Reginald Saddler and Glendon Roden completed a 10-week cultural development program while residing at the centre.
They also took part in cultural and sporting programs and attend the school at the centre which is run by Coleambally Central School teachers.
The aim of the program is to raise cultural awareness, health and fitness as well as literacy and numeracy levels for students.
The centre aims to empower Aboriginal youth to develop and draw on their own resilience in order to take responsibility for their own lives, develop strategies to deal with their problems and minimise the risk of becoming involved in the criminal justice system.
The promotion of self-confidence, identity and cultural pride in Aboriginal youth is seen as central to the development of resilient young men.
