Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be, world without end.
- [Sister Eileen] Amen. - [all] Amen.
Now, ah...
...there's a new boy who joined us last night.
I'm sure you've all met him, but I hope that you will
show him the ways of our little family and welcome him
into, into the fold.
Thank you, Sister.
So,
as one lamb arrives,
another departs.
And we are sad, today, that our Johnny
is leaving us to begin a new journey.
Come forward.
That's right.
Yep, you've got to bend over it. That's right.
Good boy.
Dear Lord,
I present this lost boy to you
so that he may be baptised and join your flock.
May the water
from your heart
wash away all his sins.
In the name of our Lord, I baptise you... John.
[people applauding]
- Thank you, Sister. - Okay.
Now, will you all turn to
your hymn books, page 62.

- [sheep baa] - [cows moo]
[Sister] Come on, boys.
[boys chattering]
[Sister] Come on. Hep, hep.
Come and get it, boys.
I'm sad to see you leave, Johnny.
You're a good boy. You look after yourself.
Thank you, Sister Mum.
Know when to bite your tongue.
Michael.
Thank you, Sister Mum.
Matthew.
[Matthew] Thank you, Sister Mum.
[Sister Mum] Steven.
Thank you, Sister Mum.
James.
Thank you, Sister Mum.
Henry.
Thank you, Sister Mum.
Ah, the little new one.
Every kid here calls me Sister Mum,
'cause they don't have a mum.
And if you ain't got one,
you can call me Sister Mum too, okay?
[man] Hmm.
Alright, now George is here.
John?
Would you please bless our meal one last time?
Yes, Sister.
[John] Dear Lord,
We ask you to bless this meal
that Sister Mum has prepared for us.
For this food, we give you thanks.
- [John] Amen. - [all] Amen.
[utensils clattering]
[Sister Eileen] Grant us, O Lord,
we beseech thee a safe journey,
so that under thy guidance and the guidance of the holy angels,
we may safely reach our destination.
St. Christopher, the patron saint of travellers,
pray for us, and protect us from evil.
In the name of the Father and the Son...
In the name of the Father, of the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- Amen. - Amen.
Will you write to us, John?
Look forward to hearing of your progress.
And these, these are your papers.
- Keep them safe, you hear? - Yes, Sister.
Ohh!
Look, it's a miracle.
It's a shilling.
Just in case.
Thank you, Sister.
Be a good boy.
Ah...
Don't get too excited. There's no knife in it.
[all] Bye, Johnny.
[gentle calm music]
Just don't worry, children.
With Michael here,
as our new head boy,
you know we're going to be in safe hands.
Hey, Sister Mum, might we have a cake tonight?
In honour of Michael's big day. What do you reckon, boys?
- Rum and raisin? Eh? - [boy] Yes, please, Sister.
[Michael] Hurry up.
Do your bed.
And make sure you do my bed as well.
[boy] Okay.
[Sister Eileen] Ahh. Morning, Dom Peter.
It's a lovely day.
[Sister Eileen clears throat]
Anyway, I told a lie to a policeman.
Well...
...picked a fight, actually.
And, um...
[Sister clears throat]
Well, all the children are well.
And as you can see,
we got a new one last night, so...
Ahh...
Yeah...
Wow!
What a difference a year makes, hey?
Anyway, um...
Yeah, come on, son. There's nothing to see here.
[Sister clears throat]
[whispering] Yeah, and I baptised Johnny.
I'm not sure if it worked, I know it's a priest thing,
not a nun thing.
[Sister Eileen] Oi! Careful!
It's a year to the day, you know?
Since he died.
Swearing at us while we wiped his bum.
Yeah. Well, we haven't been struck down by lightning, yet.
I think the Lord might be
alright with our little arrangement.
- Hmm? - They'll find out.
We will be punished.
- And they'll send another one. - It doesn't matter to them.
As long as we send the profit from the harvest.
The Lord will protect us, Sister.
Where's that new boy gone?
[Sister Mum] There he is. Hugging a tree.
[Sister Eileen] Oi! Hey, cut it out.
Come on. Come on.
Now, you'll break your arm, eh?
[gentle music]
- [birds squawking] - [boys chattering]
[gentle piano music]
Go on.
Go play with the other boys.
[Sister Eileen VO] "To the Chief Protector
"of Aborigines, Mr Krank.
"The boy John has been sent to work on Dermott Downs Station.
"While I appreciate that the war
"has left many farms light-handed,
"the boy's education will suffer
"as a result of this premature induction into the workforce.
"After all, John is only a boy of 13.
"I trust you will see God's wisdom in this.
"Yours sincerely,
"Dom Peter."
[boy squeals]
[slurps]
Sit back down.
Uh-oh!
George will have something to say about that.

Oi, darkie!
Matthew says he wants to fight you.
Yeah, I'm going to give it to you.

Ohhh. It's hot in here.
Michael?
[Sister sighs]
What's going on here?
Michael?
Oh, come on. He's so small, and he's not.
[Michael] Sister, last night,
I caught Matthew here stealing food.
- And this was his punishment? - No.
No?
Well...
You're head boy, now.
So what should his punishment be?
- [Michael] Caning. - [Sister Eileen] Caning?
We haven't caned a boy in over a year.
Is that what you really want?
Michael, being head boy
brings with it a certain amount of power.
But it will also bring you challenges.
It is times like this that the Devil will test you, Michael.
- You understand? - Yes, Sister.
Alright.
I'll leave the decision between you and God.
[cane cracks]

Now get ready for church.
Go on, go wash up.
Come on, go wash up.

[Sister Eileen] Matthew, come on.
Matthew!
[door creaks opens]
[bowl clangs]
[Sister Eileen] Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Again.
[all] Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
[boys] ...deliver us from evil.
- [all] Amen. - [boy] Amen.
Hey.
Steven, he gets two scoops.
- Oh! He gets two scoops. - I know.
So what happened this morning?
Hmm? Oh.
I think it's called 'the pecking order'.
[both exclaim in agreement]
Ah, they'll sort it out.
[Sister Eileen] Now,
as you know...
...today is the first day of the olive harvest.
And George will be here to help.
Now,
many of you were here last year,
so you're expected to teach those children who weren't,
how the harvest works.
Now, in our little family,
everyone contributes.
When we take pride in our work,
we take pride in ourselves.
- Good Lord. - [boys chuckle]

[Sister] How's the new boy doing?
[George] Yeah, he's doing alright.
[Sister] Good.
[George] Needs a name, though.
You going to wet his head, too?
We'll just call him New Boy for now.
You're the boss.
[Sister] Alright, it's lunch, boys.
[horse whinnies]
Alright.
Right, who'd like a sandwich?
Michael, would you hand out the sandwiches?
Alright.
[boys chattering and laughing]
[George] Yes. Come on, Bear.

[George] That's it.
[Sister] "He has been sent."
[George] Okay, men, let's get to that rock wall.

Hey.
Go find the boys.
You've got to pull your weight.

to eat the forbidden fruit,

They thought not bad thoughts

And they were naked in their innocence.

Whoa.
[George] Come on.
Well, quit your gawking.
Sister Eileen will put the radio on for yas.
Hmm, good idea, Sister. Come on, boys.

Oh! I see you have our precious cargo.
Yeah, I do, Sister.
I just need a Dom Peter
to be able to sign for it, please.
He's not here, he's...
Um...
Yeah, I'll sign.
Ah, I'm afraid it has to be Dom Peter
that takes delivery of the goods.
[Sister Eileen sighs] Of course, of course.
You know, when I said Dom Peter wasn't here,
I meant he's not 'all here'.
[driver] Oh!
Well...
[flies buzzing]
Wait, um...
I'll see if I can... I'll see if I can rouse him.
Right.
[George] Yeah...
[George] Yeah, yeah, he...
Is that a '38 or a '39?
- [Sister Eileen] Mum! - [man] Ah, it's a '39, mate.
[Sister Eileen] Sister Mum!
[George] Is it...
[door slams shut]
Is it the old crank start?
[driver] No, electric start.
Tell you, mate, there won't be any new models,
not until after this war is done, anyway.
[George] Yeah.
- When's that going to be? - [driver] Who knows?
[Sister Eileen mimicking Dom Peter] Why did you wake me up?
What do you want, you slut?
[Sister Mum] Sign, just here!
[Eileen as Dom] Get out of here, you dirty slut.
[Sister Mum] Sign!
[Eileen as Dom] I'm not signing. What's that?
Ow! Get off me, I'm not signing that, you slut.

[George] Alright, that's it. Chock him up.
Alright, men, get around to the front.
[James] Sister, you sounded just like Dom Peter.
Oh, children, you just heard some words
that you haven't heard for quite some time.
And I pray you'll never have to hear them again.
[Michael] What is it, Sister?
[Sister Eileen] It's a great responsibility, Michael.
- Quickly, come on. - [George] Alright.
[Sister Eileen] Let's get it into the church.

And all that they seek to destroy.
