Toni Carellas Deputy Principal ATSI STUDENT FORUM On Friday 17 March our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, along with special guests and teachers, gathered in the Dame Roma Mitchell lecture theatre to listen to some of their distinguished elders tell “their personal story” and share the journey they have taken to achieve their dreams and celebrate their success. Our guests were Rhian Miller, AIME Institute manager who is currently studying teaching at Uni SA, Mr Shane Tongerie who works within the Department for Youth Justice, Mrs Glennis Warrior, DECD Northern Area Manager, Ms Allysia Weetra, Mr Luke Booth and Mr Travis Perry- Quantas. The students were attentive listeners and provided some valuable feedback about what their take home messages were: “You have to work hard for what you want.” “Be what YOU want to be, not what others are.” “Enjoy the small moments.” “With willpower and determination you can succeed.” “Get an education and you will have the life you want.” Some excellent questions and answers wrapped up the forum and of course a lovely shared recess spread of cakes and fruit was enjoyed by all.

  • A New Masterplan for Adelaide's Riverbank Precinct
    Sourceable Industry News & Analysis http://sourceable.net A New Masterplan for Adelaide’s Riverbank Precinct Author : kristen-avis The South Australian government has begun consultations on what should be done in four integral areas including Bonython Park, the old Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) site, the core entertainment area, and the biomedical precinct in order to link the CBD and North Adelaide to attract more activity and investment. Premier Jay Weatherill is confident of the potential of Adelaide’s Riverbank precinct, saying it “will be better than anything other major Australian cities have to offer,” offering Sydney’s Darling Harbour and Melbourne’s Docklands as comparisons. The precinct will include entertainment, retail, arts and sport facilities with work ranging from redevelopment of the Festival Centre to a $40 million footbridge across the Torrens, upgrades to the Adelaide Casino, and the redeveloped Adelaide Oval. Weatherill admits Adelaide has never fully used the river to its advantage but says the new plan will create a new identity for the city with a busy park in the middle of Adelaide. “The River Torrens winding through the heart of Adelaide is one of our city’s best assets,” he says. Adelaide Footbridge Construction Weatherill is inviting South Australians to voice their opinions on how to best revamp the area. Deputy Premier and Planning Minister John Rau says the implementation plan for the Riverbank precinct will be displayed at the Adelaide Convention Centre on June 30. 1 / 3 Sourceable Industry News & Analysis http://sourceable.net Developers hope to finalise a blueprint for the area by August.
