School principal Cindy Hales with students at Aurukun

Last week I had the opportunity to travel up to Cape York, to the remote indigenous community of Aurukun on the west coast.

The programs they’ve put in place are an important step in closing the academic achievement gap between indigenous and mainstream students.
