The Sweet Pins Foundation Limited

Australia youth's speech and language skills are at the lowest they have ever been in Australian history. With more than 1 in 16 primary students  not having the ability to read at the level expected of them and 44% of Australian adults not having the literacy skills required of them to handle and maintain gainful employment.

The Sweet Pins Foundation aims to combat literacy issues by providing free books to primary school children. By providing students with the opportunity to choose books they want to read rather than books they are told to read we look to encourage and inspire children to begin reading frequently from a young age in the hopes that we can start to turn these shocking statistics around for the next generation of Australians.

Our Vision is to create an Australia without educational inequality caused by financial disadvantage.

The Tertiary Place Inc.

The Tertiary Place was founded by two sisters from a family of twelve that includes four adopted brothers with special needs. Being educators, both Nona and Angela value learning. They recognized that people with disabilities lacked the same opportunities for life-long learning as their non-disabled peers. They realised that for the majority of special needs individuals, once school finished there was little opportunity to continue formal learning. When non-disabled individuals graduate from high school, they have the choice of going onto TAFE or University or undertaking a trade. This is not the experience for a person with a disability. Nona and Angela wanted to create that “tertiary” feel and experience for the members of the community who have disabilities.

• develop their confidence, resilience and self- esteem; and
• define new and different pathways for themselves upon release from prison.
Participants who sign up to the program while in prison can continue with The Torch after
release as In Community artists. The program assists artists to reconnect with culture, earn
income from art sales, foster new networks and pursue educational and creative industry
pathways upon their release. The program is inclusive, working with artists producing their
