Aboriginal kids embracing their education from elite private schools | 60 Minutes Australia

May 31 2023

This is unashamedly one of those good news stories. No one can deny the horrors facing Aboriginal kids in bush towns all over the country. But for some, just a few, there's a chance to escape. And the opportunity is coming from an unexpected source. A number of our top private schools are opening their doors, thanks to scholarships for disadvantaged kids. Like many great ideas, it started out small. But it's been so successful, millions of dollars are being raised to extend the scheme. So now, even more of our poorest children can look forward to an education that was only money could buy.

For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes.
