Description

One man' s fight to turn the tide of low expectations.

When Chris Sarra arrived as the first Aboriginal principal of Cherbourg State School, it was a time of high hopes but low expectations in Indigenous education.

Over six years, he transformed the school into a national success story.

Along the way, he battled the media, the education system and a culture of complacency.

Good Morning, Mr Sarra is the inspiring life story of a young boy from a country town who grew up to become Queensland' s Australian of the Year, a subject of ABC' s Australian Story and one of the most outspoken and recognised educators in the country.

His leadership institute and its nationally acclaimed ‘ strong and smart' philosophy, now used in many schools, means that Indigenous children no longer hope for a better education; they can expect it.

In this anniversary edition, Chris Sarra reflects on his recent life and career achievements, from becoming a marathon runner to advocating for the marginalised as a director-general in state government, and how his work is helping forge a path to Treaty.
