About Borinya
Borinya is an Indigenous word meaning the ‘ana’ or branch of a river which has parted from its main course for a short time. The branch leaves the main flow of the river and later re-joins it. This reflects the main aim for young people who attend Borinya.
Borinya offers young people an opportunity to be members of a supportive, learning community during a time in their lives when they may be struggling with social or emotional challenges or when mainstream education does not meet their needs.
At Borinya we WALK together with Courage, Resilience, Inclusiveness and Curiosity.
We recognise that relationship is at the heart of learning.
