Reconciliation Week celebrates and
builds on the respectful relationships
shared by Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander peoples and other Australians.
Reconciliation Week is celebrated
from Wednesday 27 May to
Wednesday 3 June.
Council supports Reconciliation Week
by offering small grants to all schools
within the Council area to enable
them to participate in activities about
reconciliation. In recent years we have had
up to 28 schools take up these grants with
over 11,000 children being involved.
Further information is available at
or on
the Council’s website.
Book launch and peace walk
As part of the 2015 Reconciliation Week
celebrations, Council will support the
Global Communities for Peace launch
of ‘Stolen. Book 2: Times of Shame and
Glory’ at the Port Adelaide TAFE,
9.30-10.30am on Wednesday 3 June 2015.
The official launch will be conducted by
the Honourable Susan Close, Minister
for Education.
‘Stolen’ is a three part series of books
written by Jerry Piasecki, which tell
the stories of Aboriginal young people.
Alberton Primary School, Ernabella School
in the APY Lands, Warriapendi School and
Thebarton Senior College students were
involved in the telling of stories.
Following the launch a Peace Walk will
leave Harts Mill at 10.45-11.00am going
to Lartelare. Margaret Brodie, daughter of
Veronica Brodie and direct descendant
of Lartelare, will lead the walk and give a
talk at the park.
All are welcome to come along to the
launch and to participate in the walk.
For further information please contact
Janet, Aboriginal & Cultural Diversity
Officer on 8405 6868 or check the

Scholarship recipients
Council provides two scholarships
each year for Aboriginal or Torres Strait
Islander residents to support them to
attend university.
By supporting our local people to study at,
and gain university qualifications Council
seeks to break the cycle of unemployment
and disadvantage.
The recipients for 2015 are Susan Dixon
and Nicolas Reid.
Both Susan and Nicolas are studying at
the University of Adelaide. Susan is in her
fourth year of a Bachelor of Law Degree
and has an opportunity to participate in an
exchange programme with the University
of Alberta in Canada in Semester 2 as
part of her studies. She has had a strong
involvement with the local community
all her life and is committed to using her
studies to assist in further advocating for
her people.
Nicolas is in the second year of a Bachelor
of Dental Surgery. Nic has demonstrated
his desire to not only gain qualifications
but also to support the integration of
Indigenous Cultural Competencies within
the curriculum and to provide input into
issues surrounding Indigenous oral health.
He hopes to inspire the next generation of
Indigenous dentists.
The Scholarships were presented to
Susan and Nicolas by Mayor Gary
Johanson at the Council meeting held
on 12 May 2015.
