My SIL is involved in this NFO which puts First Nation young people in some top schools around the nation.  They fundraise and find sponsors for children which pays their boarding fees and some associated costs.  The school donate tuition fees.  It gives them a wonderful opportunity.  We heard from a 12 year girl from the Tiwi islands who was going to school at Abbosleigh in Sydney.  I couldn't think of a more diverse culture than the Tiwi Islands and upper North Shore Sydney.  But there you are.  

My SIL nominated me to take photos of the event (for free) but I did get a meal and a gift and honestly such a privilege to help out with such a good cause.

So this is the girls from Abbotsleigh doing some dances they had been taught by an elder.  Well done girls.
