Singout4Justice 2012

Brianna's song  It happens all the time deals with bullying. Brianna is a Year 8 student at Thorndon School, and she wins a $400 music voucher and a $100 Caritas Gifts voucher.

Briana's song took up the call of this year's competition focus, 'A voice for the voiceless'. This invited young people to consider ways their song can be a voice for the poor, the vulnerable and those who live with oppression.
