| NATIONAL APOLOGY TO THE STOLEN GENERATIONS | |
On Friday 12th February, Centacare at Seaton celebrated the 2nd Anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations. About 50 Centacare employees and some specially invited community guests attended the event. We all found it a great opportunity to revisit the journey which had been undertaken for Australia's First Nations, a time to reflect, remember and to be inspired to commit to the ongoing healing of our communities. |

| CITY OF CHARLES STURT AUSTRALIA DAY AWARDS | |
On Wednesday 27 January at the City of Charles Sturt Australia Day Celebration at Fort Glanville the Centacare “Nunga Touch Carnival” was announced as the 2009 Community Event of the Year. The Award was presented by Mayor Harold Anderson in front of an array of dignitaries, and accepted by Ross Tanimu from the Centacare Student Matters team.
Over 150 students representing 15 schools, each competed in 5 touch rugby games. This event was the culmination of the previous 3 months of Ross and Tui’s Student Matters “Nunga Group Work” program.
The “Nunga Group Work” program aims to reconnect and maintain Indigenous youth at school, and build in them, a positive determination to succeed in life through education. Maintaining education and connection to the school community is an early intervention approach to avoiding a path to homelessness.
