Aboriginal Children's Advancement Society
- Aboriginal Children's Advancement Society
The Aboriginal Children's Advancement Society, or ACAS, is an organization in New South Wales, Australia that aims to achieve aboriginal reconciliation by improving the education of aboriginal children. The belief is that with improved education the children will be better able to compete for mainstream employment. To achieve this it founded the Kirinari Aboriginal Students Hostels. Many Aboriginal Secondary School students have been able to achieve tertiary qualifications through the experience learned at a Kirinari hostel.
Aboriginal children from country New South Wales attend Gymea Technological High School, Endeavour Sports High School and Minerva Special Needs High School in the Sutherland Shire. The other Kirinari caters for boys who attend Cardiff High School in the city of Newcastle.
