School Holidays

We are celebrating NAIDOC week and invite all young people to share their voice on Reconciliation, contributing to a collaborative community art piece and together celebrate unity and diversity in our community.

Winter holidays will have the Youth Centre open as a Drop-In space for young people in school years 6-12. Along with the usual resources and activities available, we will be running activities each day from 2pm. Have a sneak peek into the activities we have planned below:

Please note that School Holiday Drop In is supervised in the same way as Drop In during the school term. This means staff are available on site however young people are free to come and go as they please.
