House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Grievance Debate Morialta Citizenship Awards Morialta Citizenship Awards Mr GARDNER House of Assembly Morialta Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:24): Thank you, sir, and congratulations to you on your elevation to this role that you now hold as Deputy Speaker. Every year it is my pleasure as the member for Morialta to honour and recognise the significant work of students in the Morialta electorate who have won Morialta Citizenship Awards. The award consists of a prize worth $100 per campus, either to one student or split amongst a number, in the form of either a book voucher or cheque and a certificate, which is a highlight I am sure of many pinboards in students' houses around the electorate of Morialta. The Morialta Citizenship Award winners for 2021 include 30 students from schools across the Morialta electorate. Their involvement in school and community service has been varied, and all are to be congratulated on their tremendous endeavours. That service to school and community can take many forms. Some of them had leadership roles within their schools or house captains or SRC representatives. Some of them mentored, tutored, coached, supported younger students or supported charities. Involvement in SAPSASA athletics, football, cricket, soccer and netball was included. Many volunteered their time in their library, sports shed, canteen, classrooms and, in some cases, all of the above or other endeavours within school volunteering. A commitment to music programs, bands and choirs was prevalent and many participated in special causes such as mental health, Camp Quality, Harmony Day, Relay for Life, the World's Greatest Shave, environmental programs and, importantly, particularly under the old boundaries of Morialta in the wake of the Cudlee Creek fires, the CFS. Many raised money and volunteered their time. All of them demonstrated a commitment to their community, to their school, to their state and, very importantly, to other young people both in their school and the broader community. Today, I commend these students to the house: from Athelstone School, Kiana Woods, Chloe Morrison, Levi Scott and Eddie Manifold; from Birdwood High School, Laura Coventry; from Charles Campbell College, Xuan Truong and Rachel Lang; from Highbury Primary School, Yianni Papacharissiou and Jordan Kaleta; from Lenswood Primary School, Ellie Schultz; from Lobethal Lutheran School, Evelyn Hughes; a student from Lobethal Primary School whose works were tremendous but whose family would prefer they not be named; from Modbury High School, Ryan Oxlad; from Mount Torrens Christian School, Monica Allen; from Norwood Morialta High School, the last ever winner from that school, Brejana Kildare—of course, Norwood International High School and the Morialta Secondary College will both be eligible in the years to come; from Norton Summit Primary School, Isaac Davies and Violet Smith; from Oakbank Area School, Ashley Levy; from Rostrevor College, Jayden Iuliano; from St Francis of Assisi School at Newton, Jacob Short and James Hicks; from Stradbroke School—a very large primary school in the suburb of Rostrevor with many students who were graduating last year from year 6 and year 7—a number of winners in Ruben Allen, Holly Zbierski, Kalan Masan, Faith Jayathilaka, Scarlett Power, Ali Castello and Maddie Cormack; from Thorndon Park Primary School, Julian Crescitelli; and from Uraidla Primary School, Miley Packham. These students, these outstanding young South Australians, are deserving winners of the 2021 Morialta Citizenship Awards. I congratulate them and I congratulate other winners in the past. I cannot wait to see the positive impact that these young people will make in their schools, the broader community, the state of South Australia and our country in the years ahead. I commend them all to the house.
