THE LIGHT INSIDE by OneVision + #BanoraPoint High School This is an anthem of love, resilience, and overcoming hardship. These wise young souls from Banora Point High take a #healingjourney from the jagged edges high in the mountains down through the waterways to the tempered and smooth sands of our beautiful beaches. They sing and harmonise together as one, discovering they can heal through sharing stories and songs, connecting to Country, opening up to one another, and receiving the support, encouragement, and ancient wisdom of #Community. Just as pressure makes a diamond, these wonderful, heartfelt students shine equally bright as they celebrate the light inside that shines and brings them back to their truth and to the love they have in their own hearts. Take this healing journey with them as they lead the way to a brighter, kinder, more inclusive, and community-minded future. Huge Kudos to Aunty Joan Sheriff, Sheridan Hargreaves, Jess Kamnerdkan and Saul Moses, who created such a supportive and encouraging space for this project to flow at Banora Point High School. Also to the One Vision facilitators and crew: Daniel Pearson aka #TripleNip, #MiaBloom, #MarkRobertson, #CoedieMcCarthy aka #Theboyofmanycolors, #AlexL’Estrange, #ChrisLiddell of #TheMusicFilmStudio and #AndyJansBrown

Can you picture the way of life this Indigenous community once had in their longstanding home on Cabbage Tree Island? 🌳🐬 especially when compared to their pod-village life since the devastating 2022 floods. ❤️ Let’s open our hearts to these young people, who—after a thorough community youth consultation—chose this critical, ongoing issue as the focus for their OneVision workshop song and video.

Watch below to see how we give a voice to youth in 'juvenile justice centres'

NEW RELEASE from YOUTH IN DETENTION CENTRE: You can't see their faces and you don't know who they are. Their message goes much deeper than looks. It's about what attitude you bring forward with everything life throws at you. "Keep your head up and be strong. Remember you're powerful" is how they open up their video. They are the Youth of today with messy lives sharing that the only way forward is to get stronger together. From our CEO... "Our team had the pleasure to work with some youth from Acmena Youth Justice Centre, Grafton. It’s a shocking reality that we have kids from the age of 10 in lockup and now a harsh 3 strike policy and youth are locked up. Over COVID-19 some kids were locked away for 23 hours a day! Our society creates trauma on trauma and like a traumatised animal the only way back from excessive abuse and trauma is guidance and support. It could be seen as one end of the spectrum being fear and trauma, and the other being security guidance and love. Everyone can change but our society has to think differently. "We are holding a community consultation in Byron on December 5th and invite everyone to come. We need to keep our kids out of jail and focus on redirecting their lives into community, passion and purpose. Hope everyone’s well, it’s a strong message the kids bring." - Mark Robertson, OneVision CEO One Vision Productions thanks Toni Simpson, Principal of Induna School, South Grafton, and Kerry Mcgurk, Kate Francis and the whole team from the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) NSW Government.
