Ellen Jose Reconciliation Awards winners 2021

Congratulations to the three young winners of the Ellen Jose Reconciliation Awards.

Now in their third year, the Ellen Jose Awards encourage Bayside primary and secondary school students to consider “What Reconciliation means through their eyes” in an artwork or piece of writing.

We celebrate Reconciliation Week in Bayside to recognise its importance to all Australians.

Our Bayside Reconciliation Action Plan outlines specific actions we are taking on our journey towards reconciliation, working together to build stronger relationships between the broader Bayside community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
