Civics in the City

The Commissioner’s Civics in the City grant program provides disadvantaged schools with funding to visit the Adelaide CBD and engage with the learning experiences students would otherwise miss out on. Young people from the recipient school receive a guided tour and activity session in the Parliament of South Australia.
