The project centred on the young people from these two Aboriginal sports clubs, celebrating their culture and achievements through a range of creative experiences including filmmaking, street art, radio broadcasting and play workshops.

"The opportunity for Polyglot to work collaboratively, to co-create and exchange would not be possible without the infrastructure, generosity and vision of the Moree Boomerangs," First on the Ladder project producer Simone Ruggiero said.

"We are privileged to have access to the strength of family and culture, to the power of sport within regional communities, to the breadth of engagement these clubs make possible.

"For Polyglot, these Aboriginal-led organisations have opened up new understanding and appreciation of how art can speak, work and act. They are game changers."

"First On The Ladder has increased the opportunities for young people to express themselves, and provided a new way for them to participate in the social and cultural fabric of the Club," Moree Boomerangs president Mitchell Johnson added.

"Overall, First On The Ladder added to the atmosphere of the Club, and promoted fun and a sense freedom through the use of imagination and self-expression."

In Moree, participants worked with Jerome Smith, Dekquitah Taylor and Ian Pidd to create and share Boomerangs Broadcast Corporation (BBC) Radio. Featuring the regular segment Aunties Hour, BBC Radio was broadcast six times over each season.

Play workshops were also very popular, with participants engaging with artists Tamara Rewse, Caleena Sansbury, Aunty Paula Duncan, Aunty Val Pitt, Aunty Barb Smith-Johnson and Aunty Mandy Haines to create flags, costumes, fence weaving and puppets.

School holiday intensive workshops were also held in both towns, with a song, dance and film workshop held in Moree, where 35 participants worked with Naomi Wenitong and DJ Jay Tee of legendary hip hop group The Last Kinection to write and record a Moree Boomerangs anthem.

Accompanying dances were created with artists Jazi Othman and Shae Duncan, and then these were put together in a video clip with filmmaker Polly Armstrong. Skyela Gillon collaborated with the artists as workshop assistant during the week.

In Moree, more than 100 children were involved with the making of and broadcast of Boomerangs Broadcast Corporation, and 169 children enjoyed the play workshops.

"One of the most important and inspiring things that we have learned this year is the extent to which local artists and producers in these two communities have taken the lead in the various projects," project director Ian Pidd said.

"It's so exciting to see the Aunties in Moree take control of the play workshops. I think that this ownership of the project by the community has led us to hear so many great local stories this year.

"Whether through the hip hop songs, the animations, the radio broadcasts or the output from the play workshops, local voices and stories - particularly from girls and women - have come to the fore."

The Moree Boomerangs will be showcasing the achievements of the First on the Ladder project at the Dhiiyan Aboriginal Centre on August 23, where visitors will be able to view works completed by the budding Moree artists.
