Ms Rebecca Neilson Is the Community and Neighbourhood Development Lead, for Hope Whyalla.  Rebecca has worked with Mission Australia for almost five years.

The following extract has been taken from the Mission Austalia Web page.

Mission Australia and HOPE Collective partner on Whyalla Community of Focus 

Mission Australia and HOPE Collective are reinforcing their commitment to Whyalla and will work together to create long-term change in the community.

The partnership will see Whyalla become Mission Australia’s fourth Community of Focus, with the organisations building on the solid foundation that HOPE Collective has established in the community to create positive change. 

Launching in 2024, the collaboration will see Mission Australia commit up to 10 years of funding towards the establishment of a local team who will support HOPE Collective’s ongoing work with the Whyalla community. 

HOPE Collective is a collaboration of multiple groups including community groups, schools, churches, residents, and government agencies and non-government organisations. Mission Australia was a founding member of HOPE Collective.  

The heart of HOPE Collective is to serve the local community, to see the community as experts in their own story, to empower neighbourhoods, and to see lives transformed.  

This Communities of Focus partnership will enhance and deepen the ongoing work that HOPE Collective has been doing with the Whyalla community over the past nine years.

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years, and we’ve made incredible progress in the fight to rid the world of it forever.

As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've helped to reduced polio cases by more than 99.9 percent.

It’s crucial to eradicate polio from the last two countries where it remains endemic and to keep other countries polio-free.

If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.

Last month, 38 children from Samaritan College participated in the Wakakirri Dance Competition, which celebrates storytelling through dance.  This required families to travel to Adelaide for two nights, a significant financial commitment for families in our regional community.  The students won a State Award and were invited to perform at the official awards night in Adelaide on the 11th of September.  This was an incredible achievement for the children, for Whyalla, and for regional arts, and a chance for them to showcase their talent on a State stage.

With support from the Rotary Club of Whyalla and College families and the dedication of teachers Mrs Murray, Miss Jodie, Mrs Edwards and some amazing parents the children were able to return for the awards night and perform on 11 September.

Mrs Murray has agreed to come along and tell us about this incredible journey.
