Ellen José Student Reconciliation Awards - winners and finalists 2022
The Ellen José Student Reconciliation Awards encourage students across Bayside to submit an artwork or piece of writing interpreting "what Reconciliation means through their eyes" – bringing awareness of reconciliation to our young people, who are the future of Australia.
Dr Joseph Toscano of the Ellen José Memorial Foundation and Bayside City Council Mayor Cr Alex del Porto, had the difficult task this year of judging the incredible finalists and whittling it down to first, second and third prize winners across the categories of Prep – Grade 3 and Grade 4 - 6.
Congratulations to the young winners who were awarded their prizes at the Flag Raising Ceremony on Saturday 28 May, marking the start of Reconciliation Week (27 May to 3 June).
