Event description
Snowy Valleys Council celebrates Australia Day each year with a ceremony in Stockwell Gardens, awarding the Snowy Valleys Region Australia Day Awards and welcoming new community members with a Citizenship Ceremony.
On Australia Day we come together as a nation to celebrate what's great about Australia and being Australian. It's the day to reflect on what we have achieved and what we can be proud of in our great nation. It's the day for us to re-commit to making Australia an even better place for the future.
Australia Day Ambassador
Ms. Michelle Leonard OAM - Founder and Artistic Director of the not-for-profit, Moorambilla Voices
Growing up in north-west NSW, Michelle Leonard learned to play piano and clarinet but noticed there weren’t many opportunities for regional students to pursue music. As Founder and Artistic Director of the not-for-profit, Moorambilla Voices, Michelle works to create opportunities for underprivileged children in rural areas to access music education. She has taught many indigenous children and her work has a strong community focus. Moorambilla Voices has opened countless doors for many of its students, some of whom have walked out with a scholarship for Knox Grammar School or an invitation to study at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
