Some stories stay with you, even after a young person has finished their time with us. Isla’s is one of them.

She first came to Mt Druitt Learning Ground in primary school. It was one of the only places where she felt calm and truly listened to. When she moved into high school, she could not return. It was out of her hands, and she carried that loss quietly. She asked to come back many times. She missed this place more than anyone knew.

When she finally returned in Year 9, she walked in, saw the room she remembered, and cried.

Not because she was sad, but because she felt safe again. Because she remembered who she was when she first came here. Because coming back felt like getting a piece of herself back.

Isla has now finished her time at Mt Druitt Learning Ground. She wrote a letter for other young people who might be here now, or thinking about coming, or hoping to return one day. It is honest, brave and deeply moving.
