Celebra Tion Exhibition Ro R CELEBRATION EXHIBITION ROYAL COMMISSION COMMUNITY BASED SUPPORT17 SERVICE Royal Commission Community Based Support Service Celebrating strength and resilience Journeys of hope In 2012, the Commonwealth Government established the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse to investigate how institutions such as schools, churches, orphanages, sports clubs and government organisations have responded to allegations and instances of child sexual abuse. In 2013, Interrelate was funded to provide Royal Commission Community Based Support Services to survivors of child sexual abuse and their families, as well as witnesses and employees of institutions and organisations where abuse took place and those who are distressed by the work of the Royal Commission. Since the program’s inception, Interrelate has supported more than 1000 clients affected by the Royal Commission. In working towards dealing with the effects of childhood trauma, and building supportive and healthy relationships, many of the people who have engaged with this service have used expressive and creative arts as part of their recovery journey. Many clients want to have their work displayed in a way that will raise community awareness and provide hope for other survivors, as well as acknowledge their strength and resilience. Everything you see and read in this booklet is exactly how our clients submitted it. Counsellors and others within Interrelate are excited to support this exhibition, to honour the effort and successes of clients and to raise awareness of child sexual abuse within the broader community. We hope you are inspired by the works on display. 01 CELEBRATION EXHIBITION 2017 - 2018 Royal Commission Community Based Support Service Garden Of Inner Strength Zoie Through the Royal Commission and Interrelate I have learned so much about my trauma and how to deal with it, and my artwork represents the inner strength I have gained through the experience. Self Portrait Samantha Burns I attended Interrelate after the Royal Commission. This photo represents me breaking through my fears from being abused. Since this mainly took place in a pool environment, the water was both a place of trauma and healing for me. This photo represents reclaiming something I love to do – that of swimming and feeling free. 02 03 CELEBRATION EXHIBITION 2017 - 2018 Royal Commission Community Based Support Service 2 Dolphins Wilson Jhy Dolphins are a wonderful, loving, playful creature. Every time you think of them, you think of them breaching the water and playing happily.

This creates Darkness is gone. my Zen state of relaxation Lion – strength and pride. and mindfulness. Flowers – a bright future. 04 05 CELEBRATION EXHIBITION 2017 - 2018 Royal Commission Community Based Support Service Poster I made this poster showing how I felt before I spoke to the Royal Commission, explaining all the feelings and emotions I suffered for 32 years as a result of being abused sexually at school by a teacher. The other Con Vassilakis half shows how I felt after I spoke about it for the first time and how good and important it was for me letting it out and letting it go so I can move on in my life with a big weight lifted off me. I made this poster so it can show others in similar situations as me that it is never too late to tell someone about the abuse you suffered, no matter how little or how long it occurred. Before I spoke to the Royal Commission, I never told anyone for 32 long, long years, even though I wanted to. I just could not as I feared any repercussions, meaning I would be blamed for letting it happen or I would not be believed. I felt so much guilt, shame, hurt. I just wanted the feelings I felt to go away, to just leave me alone, and you know what? I found someone who took away all the bad feelings and she came in the form of a white powder – her name was Heroin. For 32 years I used this drug and it was the only thing that helped, and she never, ever judged me, not once. I did anything to get money to buy it and there was many years I spent in prison for stuff I did to get heroin. I lost a lot of things that meant so much. I lost contact with my family. I recently found out my father died on 6 March 2017; I didn’t speak to him for 17 years. I wanted to tell him about me being abused as a child so maybe he could understand why my life has been full of heartache and pain. Why I used heroin. Now I have lost that chance to tell my dad and to tell him I loved him no matter what. In 2015, when the Royal Commission came out, I made a choice to take a chance to tell my story and I did, and since then I have stopped using drugs. They have stuck by me in the way of providing a counsellor whom I first built trust with, before I spoke about my abuse. I have been able to move on. I now know it wasn’t my fault it happened, I am able to smile again and be able to love, to trust people, and I am working on changing. I am 47 years old now but, hey, it’s never too late to change. I just wish something like the Royal Commission came out a long time ago. I am proof that getting it out does help as holding that type of stuff in wasn’t good. I lost so much meaningful relationships and just being a real dad to my kids, but now I will work on trying to get on track. I’m lucky I have a partner that sticks by me, just know I love you. I am also thankful of my ever-supportive counsellor, Deborah, from Interrelate. But to anyone who is going through the same type of issues, please speak up. Tell someone, as holding it in and not talking about it only creates bigger problems long term. Look at me – I thought I had it under control, but geez how wrong was I. Things now just seem and do even feel better. I can now wake up smile, look into the mirror knowing that guy staring back is a good person, a real man, not afraid no more, and if I can get over this I can do anything at all. I have a long road ahead but with all support I now have I know I can and will change and I will try to help anyone in similar situations overcome the bad and I will stick by them just as people have stuck by me. So once again thank you for Royal Commission and thank you for someone like Deborah from Interrelate and to everyone just know it’s OK. 06 07 CELEBRATION EXHIBITION 2017 - 2018 Royal Commission Community Based Support Service Collage Of Photographs Deborah Atkinson Experiencing wonder, curiosity, challenges, sadness, stretching, frustration and joy – for me it has been a great privilege, inspiration and honour to walk alongside clients and colleagues in this journey of growth and renewal.

  • Jack Bremer, SPY Team Captain
    Name: Jack Bremer High School: Severn School Years on SPY: 13 College attending in Fall 2012: Cornell University Hobbies when not swimming: Green Bay Packers – I’ve been a huge fan my whole life, and now I can finally admit: Jim and Crystee, all those times I scratched Winterfest finals, I didn’t have a “stomach bug” or “so much homework,” I was just watching the Packers game. Other than that, I enjoy anything with boats, cars, Washington Capitals. Also (although my mom despises me doing this) I cannot stop eating pizza or cheez-its; I go through a box of each in about 10-20 minutes. Most memorable swim: Undoubtedly 200 Fly at SC Y-Nationals Finals my sophomore year. My lone goal of the meet was to make my first Summer Juniors cut, and 200 Fly was my last chance. I went a 1:52.94 and placed 16th in the morning, but I needed to go 1:51.99. At finals I won the B Final with a 1:50.34 and out-touched 2nd place by 0.02. I don’t think I’ve ever been more pumped up for anything in my life than that swim at finals, and I still get goose bumps thinking about it. Most memorable/funny moment: After spending nearly my whole life on the team, I’ve accumulated quite a few, so I can’t pick just one moment. I’d mainly like to mention the people on SPY who have impacted my life in memorable ways and have given friendships that will last a lifetime.

  • Some Thoughts on the Mauritian Cultural Impact on Australia
    SOME THOUGHTS ON THE MAURITIAN CULTURAL IMPACT ON AUSTRALIA EDWARD DUYKER Perhaps the most significant aspect of the Mauritian cultural impact in Australia has been the extent to which Mauritians have participated in and strengthened broader French cultural activities in Australia. Mauritians are represented in organizations such as the Alliance Francaise and over the years a number of them have been among the Alliance's office bear ers. Between 1939 and 1941, Dr Louis Ernest Seide Gelle (1881-1972) was president of the Alliance Frangaise in Western Australia. In 1976 Claude Rochecouste was President of the Alliance in Canberra. There are numer ous Mauritians who are employed as French language teachers in Australia. They are also involved in French language broadcasting and have done much to promote French as a community language rather than as a mere elective in secondary and tertiary education. Mauritians have also made an important contribution to amateur French language theatre in Australia. In professionsal theatre, Mauritian-born Odile Leclezio is a rising young star. Her sister Sylvie Leclezio is a familiar figure in the Australian film industry. In the early 1970s, Sylvie Leclezio helped organize the Perth Film Festival with David Roe. In 1975 she estab lished Leclizio Films, a distribution company which played a major role in introducing French New Wave films to Australian audiences. She also pro duced Marian Wilkinson's thought-provoking Allies, and co-produced the acclaimed Coca-Cola Kid. Mauritians have often capitalized on their "Frenchness". Aside from the more distinctive Mauritian cuisine of restaurants such as Sydney's he Dodo (and in a restaurant with the same name in the Victorian coastal town of Lome), numerous Mauritian chefs, waiters and restaurateurs are engaged in the preparation of more traditional French food.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “Rivers of Living Water”: The Movements and Mobility of Holiness-Pentecostals, 1837-1910 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Caroline Anne Bunnell Harris 2016 © Copyright by Caroline Anne Bunnell Harris 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “Rivers of Living Water”: The Movements and Mobility of Holiness-Pentecostals, 1837-1910 by Caroline Anne Bunnell Harris Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Stephen A. Aron, Chair This dissertation follows the fluid and dynamic movements of holiness and pentecostal worshipers who crossed boundaries of race, gender, language, and region at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century. It demonstrates how the changeable, decentralized, and anti-institutional character of the holiness-pentecostal movement allowed for both radical social behavior and dynamic geographic mobility. The movement was in a constant state of flux as the sanctified traveled across the continent, as holiness ideas circulated amidst an explosion of print culture, and as worshipers moved in and out of socially transgressive practices. By the early twentieth century an expansive network of holiness and pentecostal folk, tied together by railroads and holiness newspapers, sprawled across the United States. The American holiness-pentecostal movement had flowed from the homes of Northern social reformers in the !ii 1840s, to black sharecroppers in the Mississippi Delta and white cotton farmers in East Texas after Reconstruction, and finally to the West at the turn of the century. Popular depictions of Los Angeles on the brink of the Azusa Street Revival describe a seed about to sprout, a woman in labor, or a tree being transplanted.
