The Bayu-Undan Joint Venture has supported Colegio St. Inacio de Loiola (CSIL) in Dili, Timor-Leste for the past several years. The school is run by the Jesuit mission, who are renowned for their experience in delivering high quality education and inspiring future leaders.

The Bayu-Undan Scholarship Program began in 2016, giving Timorese students from the Liquica district access the quality of education offered by the Jesuits at CSIL. The scholarship is a fully funded program to support students from economically disadvantaged families, with all educational and associated costs for their education from year 7 to year 12.

Since the scholarship program began, a total of 25 students have become beneficiaries of the program and are currently progressing well with positive results. The first 8 students to enter CSIL through the scholarship program are now in year 11 and expected to graduate next year. A further 17 students have followed in their footsteps and currently undertaking their studies in year 8 and 9 and are expected to graduate in 2023 and 2024.

Last year saw the start of an exciting new development at CSIL - construction of a purpose-built science laboratory as a hands-on learning space for the students to undertake lab components of all Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics classes across all year levels at the school.

The Bayu-Undan JV provided a portion of funding required for the Science Laboratory in 2019 and intends to provide a further portion this year, with the project to complete within Q1 2020. As the Bayu-Undan field approaches End of Field Life, the Bayu-Undan JV saw the opportunity to invest in construction of the science lab as a sustainable educational resource, and a Bayu-Undan legacy for the school.

The Bayu-Undan Joint Venture is proud of the positive relationship with the CSIL and the great results being delivered by this community investment. We look forward to the seeing the scholarship students graduate over the coming years.
