COMMUNITY COMES
TOGETHER IN KILBURN
Our four Community development officers have been out
and about in Kilburn and Blair Athol working with the local
community to plan and deliver programs and opportunities.
They also collaborate with other community organisations to
offer further community involvement and support through
these partnerships.
One popular project is Welcome to our Butterfly Garden, which
was launched in May with support from the New Dawn Christian
Church and the Kilburn Neighbourhood Watch SA, as part of
the Bringing Back the Butterflies project with the Australian
Association for Environmental Education SA. Locals can watch
the butterflies flutter by in a special garden built in the front of
the Centre, where native shrubs and trees have been planted to
attract butterfly species common to the area.
PAE has also partnered with the Anti-Poverty Network and a
Kilburn Community Centre volunteer for Community
Cook-ups, designed for people on low incomes or who find
it hard to cook for one person. People gather on the second
Monday of the month to cook and eat a meal together, with any
leftovers taken home to put in the freezer for later.

GET SNAPPINGWITH THE PORT
ADELAIDE CAMERA CLUB
PAE is full of scenic spots, from the lush green spaces around
the River Torrens, to the historic buildings of the Port and
picturesque sunsets along the coast. With such unique landscapes
and subjects, it’s no wonder there are more people in the area
becoming interested in amateur photography.
The Port Adelaide Camera Club was established in 1956 to
enable enthusiasts to enjoy photography with friends. Members
range from beginners to professional photographers, all eager
to share, support and encourage each other through workshops,
outings and competitions.
The club holds regular Snap-a-thon competitions, open to
members and non-members alike, each with a different theme
that entrants must embrace over a three hour period on a
given day.
Take your photography to the next level with the help of new
friends. The club meets on the first and third Tuesday of each
month at the Maritime Union of Australia Hall.
Visit to learn more and see
lots of great photos.
BUILD A BRILLIANT RESUME
A well written and presented resume is often the first interaction
employers have with their prospective employees.
PAE Libraries can provide assistance with writing a resume and
learning how to be successful in finding employment.
Asif, a local resident, used a Resume Help session recently and
said that Library staff thoroughly reviewed his CV and cover
letter and suggested strategies to get the recruiters’ attention.
He highly recommends people to attend CV review sessions at
PAE Libraries, and said that the library team has a genuine
desire and vigilant approach to helping clients in landing their
dream jobs.
A drop in session is available at the Parks from 10.30–11.30am
each Friday and a bookable session is available at Port Adelaide
Library from 12.30–1.30pm on Wednesdays.
