HSRA is dedicated to providing all young people a chance to realize their full potential, despite any previous setbacks. Engaging students through music and the exploration and operation of the music business, HSRA demonstrate that core learning areas and real world, 21st century skills can be acquired at the same time. More than just earning a high school diploma, HSRA prepares students for a positive post-secondary education and life.

Whilst in India, Scottish photographer Ross McLean was held captive by an outcast community of snake charmers for 22 days.  The Sapera Caste.  He lost over 12kg (2 stone) of bodyweight during this time, but eventually escaped with the 20 rolls of film that documented this intense time.

Opal Fruit: A Year in Care

Opal: a gemstone, distinctlyindividual, and displays rainbow-like hues that change with the angle ofobservation, always new and always different.

Fruit: the containers in which plants put their seeds; the product orconsequence of something done; offspring.

Many young people from a care background face a bleak future. Who will speakup for them? Who will be their friend, their father, their mother? OpalFruit describes a year in the life of eight young people looked after by Dundee City Council. It explores their fears and struggles, their aspirations and triumphs, and gives insight to their needs, the support they get, and how they think and plan for the future. Opal Fruit is a hope filled story of how precious stones can be found in the most trying of circumstances.
