Please join us for our 2026 QATSIF Floral 🌺 Friday 🌸 Fundraiser.

Thank you to all the schools, donors, organisations and businesses who took part in QATSIF’s Floral 🌺 Friday 🌸 Fundraiser last year. Your support raised $11,642 which directly helped 12 First Nations students to graduate from Year 12.

This year QATSIF is supporting a record 4840 Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to complete Years 11 and 12. Across our first 17 years, we have supported 24,600 young people which is 10% of all First Nations Queenslanders.

We would like to invite schools, businesses and organisations to participate in our Floral 🌺 Friday 🌸 Fundraiser on Friday, July 10 or during your NAIDOC Week celebrations.

As well as raising money to support Queensland’s Year 11 and 12 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to graduate from secondary school, our Floral 🌺 Friday 🌸 Fundraiser also aims to raise awareness of our rich Torres Strait Islander Cultures. Each year, we share Torres Strait Islander educational resources with our 460 schools to help all students and staff learn more about our deadly Torres Strait Islander Cultures.
