We are fortunate to call Australia home and live in peace and harmony in such a great part of the world.
A special part of the day’s proceedings will be the presentation of the Young Australia Day Citizen Award to local teenager, Katelyn Eddy.
Fourteen year-old Katelyn is the classic example of the child we would all like to have – well-mannered, well-behaved, kind and helpful.
She also shows initiative – many of you may remember that she entered a competition with a view to beautifying the school and surrounds.
She was successful, receiving $10,000 for her planned project, which will provide a lasting reminder of her efforts.
