Sitting out the front of the Collingwood Community School, amongst some of the students who are gathered around him, a staff member talks to camera about the limited resources the school has to work with. With only minor support from the Department of Education, he wants to approach the Innovations Committee and Disadvantaged Schools Commission for assistance. To illustrate, he gives an example in which the $500 income the school receives each year barely covers utilities let alone a much needed bus for excursions and daytrips.
