St Catherine's School's Student Foundation Co-Captains for 2009, Emily Hamilton and Emily Steven, have just returned from a visit to Palm Island where they were privileged to meet with Australian Olympian Catherine Freeman. The students, who will fundraise and raise awareness for the Catherine Freeman Foundation in 2009 as the Student Foundation's project for the year, said that their short trip to the Island has raised their awareness of some of the issues which Australia's Indigenous community face.
"We feel passionate about working with Catherine and the Foundation to really make a difference in the Palm Island community. Our trip has really highlighted for us how privileged we are and we just feel inspired to help in every way we can."
