PRINCIPALS REPORT

Hello Swan Reach,

Hoping the rain fell in the right places for all in need and that there will be follow-up moisture sooner than later. SRAS understands through its long history with community and more recently, in partnership with MMOT, how resilience is a massive requirement for living in our region. Those on the land understand this all too well and know that changing seasons and mother nature often shapes our successes, challenges, grit and determination.

MMOT research showed that many of us identified that meaningful connections  opportunities in the area were decreasing, yet vital for positive mental health. Our young (and mature), are at risk, as opportunities for face-to-face authentic community connections decrease, meaning there is an increased trend to invest in and rely on social media for this social need. Is a Facebook ‘friend’ as real as a traditional friend? How many Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, Snap Chap, etc ‘friends’ ever visit one another’s homes and share a meal?

With adults ‘busyness’ taking more time away from family, as well as pressures and expectations for 21^st Century parenting / caring, how can we keep our families and communities authentically connected? The Resilience Project has some great insights into this topic in their upcoming live webinar ‘Authentic Connections’. SRAS will send out a link to the video recording for those who weren’t able to register in time or make it to the webinar on 6^th June @ 6:30pm.

Kind regards,

Mr John Robertson

Principal

On May 18th, our Pedal Prix team, Black Swan Racing, participated in the 6-hour race at Tailem Bend. The team demonstrated exceptional teamwork and determination, finishing in 84th place. Despite the challenges, our riders gave their best throughout their stints, and we are committed to training harder to improve both individually and collectively.
