mission statement
s o ny fo u n d a t i o n
a u s t ra l i a
As a result of Sony’s long-term vision and commitment to investing in the
communities in which it operates, the Sony Corporation’s group of
companies in this country formed the Sony Foundation Australia in 1999.
T h e f o u n d i n g c o m p a n i e s a re S o n y A u s t r a l i a L i m i t e d , S o n y M u s i c
Entertainment, Sony Computer Entertainment and Columbia TriStar Film,
Television and Home Entertainment, and we have recently been joined by
Sony Ericsson.
The Sony Foundation Australia is a non-profit charitable organisation, a
company limited by guarantee and registered under the Charitable
Fundraising Act, 1991.
The Sony Foundation Australia is exempt from
income and sales tax, and all donations are fully tax deductible.
Sony contributes to administration, operation and marketing costs,
allowing net proceeds donated by corporate partners and the public to be
given to youth-related causes.
The aim of the Sony Foundation Australia is ‘to capitalise on the unique
qualities of Sony and contribute to the advancement of the Australian
community by assisting its youth and fostering their talents’.

The fifth annual Ignatian Children’s Holiday Camp was held at Saint
Ignatius College, Riverview from December 12-15, 2002. With the growth
in popularity of the camp, there were 35 children with disabilities, 44
carers from St Igantius College, Loreto Kirribilli, Loreto Normanhurst and
Monte Sant’ Angelo; and 4 members of Father Chris Riley’s ‘Youth Off The
Streets’ program. The Camp was supported by a team of 45 nurses and 25
teachers and staff from the College.
The children on the Camp were aged between 5 and 14, and suffered from
mental and physical disabilities. The carers, after several training sessions,
met the challenges of caring for their charges admirably. They gained much
from their generous commitment of time and energy, and they witnessed
first hand the strong forces of parental love and responsibility.
Every effort was made to make the days as enjoyable as they could be for
these children who do not have all the opportunities that many other
children have. The children were taken on a ferry ride on the harbour, a
day’s outing to Clifton Gardens, enjoyed face painting activities and were
entertained with a Christmas party which included a visit by Santa Claus.
Camp organisers receive many reports from the children themselves, from
parents and from carers, all affirming that the camp is the most memorable
event in their lives so far.

program, GetReel. A significant highlight of this
ongoing program is the empowerment of young people
through raising awareness of social and health issues
related to drug use.
In 2002, lower secondary students in schools or
community and youth centres worked collaboratively to
design a health-promoting, drug awareness television
advertisement for peers. Students created storyboards
and some groups filmed their entries, with music
featuring in many of the ads. To support students’
participation, teachers and community-based youth

Education Teaching Unit. This unit was created to
develop students’ understanding of issues relating to
licit and illicit drug use, and foster their skills in
creative communication enhanced by technology.
Over 1200 students were involved from across Australia,
with 327 entries received from 61 schools and community
groups. In 2002, the National Winner was a team from
the Don Dale Juvenile Justice Detention Centre,
Northern Territory. Their entry was a clay-animation antimarijuana ad and included a rap ‘Give up the weed and
you will succeed’. It showed animated images of a face
affected by drugs, boys playing football and a ‘no
smoking dope’ icon at the end with the slogan ‘I’ve gotta
get help, I’ve gotta think twice.’ All of the judges were
struck by the sheer amount of effort the students at the
Don Dale Detention Centre had placed in preparing their
entry. This winning entry was professionally produced
and screened nationally as an advertisement during
Video Hits and Home & Away. All national and
state/territory winners received Sony product prizes for
their schools and themselves in recognition of their
achievement. Further, all schools that submitted multiple
entries received Sony Music CDs.

the principles that underpin effective school-based drug
education. As such, the Sony Foundation Australia will
continue its support of this program in 2003, expanding
to include upper primary school students and a GetReel
Webquest as part of the teaching support materials.
The Sony Foundation Australia and Youth Off The Streets
continue to share a vision of supporting young people in

The Sony Foundation’s support has provided a

including t-shirts, banners, skipping equipment and
a training CD-ROM. It has also enabled students
across Australia to learn from these talented teams
and experience their fantastic routines.
With growing concerns about childhood obesity, it

BLACK SWAN THEATRE COMPANY
Black Swan Theatre Company was established in 1991 and is regarded as one of Australia’s leading
theatre companies, producing a string of critically acclaimed landmark productions. Indeed, Black
Swan has been described as “Perth’s leading company” by London’s Financial Review and as
“consistently one of the country’s most interesting and innovative theatre companies” by The
Australian.
In the past five years, the company has presented interstate and international work giving Perth
audiences a broad range of productions to compliment the company’s locally produced work,
including the work of Aboriginal writers and performers.
As part of their commitment to young people in WA, Black Swan introduced an innovative program
called the Sony Foundation Ticket Support Scheme, empowering school students to attend theatre
free of the limitations of organised school excursions.
The scheme encourages access and participation and is open to 10,000 students in Perth, allowing
them to attend as an individual but with the same benefits as if booked in a group. In addition,
selected economically disadvantaged students gain free admission, courtesy of the Sony Foundation.
The Sony Foundation Australia is proud to be a supporter of this scheme in partnership with the
Black Swan Theatre Company.
DENNIS LILLEE DISABLED SPORTS FOUNDATION
“ Yo u t h w i t h d i s a b i l i t i e s h a ve a n e q u a l o p p o r t u n i t y t o
participate in sport, recreation and physical activity as their
able-bodied peers, at a level that is appropriate for their
ability and in a manner of their choosing.”
This is the Mission Statement of the Dennis Lillee Disabled
Sports Foundation - a beneficiary of the Sony Foundation
Australia, helping youth with high support needs. These
special young people may have multiple disabilities, limited
physical capacities, limited verbal communication, be bound
to wheelchairs and need to rely on the care of others for many
of their basic daily living needs, while having little access to
physical activity.
With the help of the Sony Foundation, the Disabled Sports
Foundation aims to raise awareness in the community, schools
and with parents of the opportunities that are available,
ensuring that there are sustainable benefits that will be
ongoing in the lives of the young people involved.
The Sony Foundation Australia grant provides support for
around 120 people in the program, with School and Community
based activity days, teacher education, parent information
sessions and community links.
