School writing
School writing from a young person, who B2A took on a culture and fishing day. This young person is under 12 and had been detained in Don Dale Youth Detention Centre a few months prior. Shows the importance of utilising sensory work with youth.

" Standing on the jetty putting stinky bait on the hook.
Hoping to catch a fish, looking at the big, jagged rocks.
seagulls screeching passed.
Feeling the line reef through my hands
hearing ' He got something pulling it in'
seeing it jumping about
splash! splash! splash!
As I reel in the stinky scaley fish over the rail.
woohoo! dinner!"
