<h2 dir="LTR"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>School News</em> recently published a story about how Order of Australia holding trailblazer, Ms Dorothy Hoddinott, with the support and enthusiasm of dedicated fellow staff, has devoted herself to transforming Sydney school, <a href="http://www.holroyd-h.schools.nsw.edu.au">Holroyd High</a> into one of the most <a href="http://www.school-news.com.au/profiles/refugee-students-flourish-in-a-culture-of-tolerance/">supportive and inclusive multicultural environments</a> imaginable for young refugees. </span></h2>
<p dir="LTR"><span style="font-size: medium;">Funding for necessary education, language and support programs is limited and not reliably available. The needs of the new residents however, are unwaveringly present and often costly. Ms Dorothy Hoddinott &#8216;s astounding dedication has been underpinned by a desire to facilitate “successful education of <em><strong>all</strong></em> the children”. </span></p>
