for the birds that sing

Thank you, God, for everything.

There will be no talking.

(Speaks Aboriginal language)

(BANG!)

We'll have no wangka here!

You talk English!

Now eat!

EAT! Or I'll hold your nose

and force it down you!

Here. Keep still.

We've got to scrub you.

Let me see.

Doesn't that feel better?

Yes, Miss Jessop.

Yes, Miss Jessop.

Thank you, Miss Jessop.

Thank you, Miss Jessop.

That is much better.

Here.

Take it.

Put these on.

Come on. Get dressed.

This is your new home.

We don't use that jabber here.

You speak English.

(Children sing) # Way down

upon the Swanee river

# Far, far away

# There's where my heart

is turning ever

# There's where

the old folks stay... #

(Whispers) What are they doing?

Singing Mr Devil's

favourite song.

Who?

Singing Mr Devil's

favourite song.

Who's that?

The one on the end,

on the chair.

# ...Ionging

for the old plantation

# And for the old folks

at home. #

Very good. Well done.

The following children

will come forward -

Tommy Grant.

This way, Tommy. Here.

Come on. Stand up straight.

Whoo, hold, boy.

Tommy.

What are they doing now?

They checkin'

for the fair ones.

Why?

They gotta take them

to Sister Kate's.

They're more clever than us.

They can go to proper school.

Thank you. No.

Molly Craig.

That you.

Molly Craig!

Go on, get up.
