Student profiles

Abigale-Rose (Abi) Tinker

Abi is from the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) lands, far north of South Australia. She is a talented dancer and contortionist. Her contemporary performance in 2017 as the perentie lizard (Australia's largest monitor lizard), tells her family's compelling story; of searching for their people, searching for their land and the spirit of her grandmother "Nana". Nana was of the Stolen Generations and passed away long before Abi was born.

"When I perform this dance, I do feel sadness for all that is lost, but I feel a sense of relief too, as it make me feel connected to my culture."

Kayla along with 9 other contestants  from the Manning Great Lakes were selected as a finailist in the 2017 Aboriingal Model search. The competition focuses on  public speaking, and assisting young people discover a higher sense of self belief, self-confidence, and self-esteem.
