Over 40 new citizens from 18 countries will make their pledge of loyalty to Australia during the ceremony. Mayor Harvey Rose said Australia Day was a time to reflect on the birth of the nation and the efforts of those who have shaped Australia as a country. “We should also remember the traditional owners of the land, whose culture is still evident in the local area,” he said The Mayor paid tribute to the local Rotary, Lions and Zonta service clubs and the Rural Fire Service and SES for their organisation of Pittwater’s Australia Day activities. “The Breakfast on the Beach has been an annual event since 1988, thanks to these local volunteer groups.” Entertainment at this year’s Australia Day at Newport Beach will be provided by the Snake Gully Bush Band and soloist Naoise Teahan-Thomson will perform the national anthem and a selection of Australian ballads. Griego the Great Magician will also keep the crowd entertained with roving magic tricks from 8am. Hot breakfasts of bacon or sausage and egg rolls and pancakes are $4 a serve, with lamingtons, fairy floss and hot and cold drinks also on sale. All funds raised on the day will benefit local service clubs and volunteer emergency services.

To assist in the development of their performance pieces, the young people will be trained in an eclectic range of theatrical techniques including physical theatre, choreography, mime, script development, voice production, film, lighting, sound and set design, art installation, music making etc. The mentoring stage of the project, in the second year, provides an opportunity for refugee young people, who have participated in the previous performance, to build on this experience, by mentoring other refugee young people to develop performance pieces. This would involve the training of former performance participants (aged 16-25) in mentoring skills including production, planning and management skills. The mentors, guided by the project leaders, would then facilitate the development of a second theatre piece with a new set of refugee young people. The experience of mentoring has been shown to provide significant educational and psychological benefits for both mentee and mentor. The most benefit is for the mentor. The project group is doing a mentoring workshop on the Island this weekend and will be presenting a partial performance with audience interaction afterwards, at 7.30pm on Monday 24th Jan at the SI Fire Shed.
