Indigenous Education Fundraising Raffle

In the lead up to our major fundraising dinner, I am pleased to advise that the School will raffle this contemporary framed artwork by Indigenous artist, N. Yunupingu (dec). Size of framed piece is 54cm x 63cm. Print size is 24.5cm x 32.5cm.

She was quite remarkable. She was a widow, a wife of the late Djapu clan leader Djiriny Mununggurr who died in 1977. Her early life was spent with her father Munggurrawuy Yunupingu, a renowned artist and father of two Australians of the Year (Her brothers Yunupingu and Dr M Yunupingu - lead singer of the band, Yothu Yindi). She was a ceremonial woman and lived without thought of material possession.

This raffle will support our efforts to raise the required funds to expand our current building plans for the new Dhupuma Barker school.  The expanded school will be able to accommodate students from early learning to Year 10.

I hope you might consider purchasing a ticket. Tickets are $20 each or 3 for $50 and will be drawn at 9am on Friday 27 October.

Thank you for supporting this wonderful vision in Australian education.
