Today we were very fortunate to have Aunty Julie and Claire visit the 4/5/6 classes. Not only did we hear about the exciting Reconciliation Week writing competition, Aunty Julie spent time with us talking about Bunjil, Waa and Yarremullenwit as well as Mananga Bum Bum. We then asked so many questions that we didn’t leave the class until way after home time. @ Taradale Primary School

Climate Change... and its impacts are far reaching, diverse and yet to be fully understood.

As people work to wrap their heads around this as a concept, as a current reality and a future, there also comes stresses.

All Australians witnessed the devastating impact of our recent bush fires, and grieved with those affected. For some, grief was also felt for our society and earth as a whole, having been given a glimpse into what climate change truly means to us all, practically, in our lives...

Understanding and appreciating the far-reaching impacts of climate change on our society, our own health (mental & physical) and our children, in partnership with Mount Alexander Shire Council, Castlemaine Community House are hosting a series of sessions around coping with climate change, as a person, a parent and a community.

Facilitated by Dr Susie Burke, environmental psychologist and therapist, these three sessions offer an opportunity for reflection, as well as insights and ways to develop resilience around the climate crisis.

Hey rock stars. One week til our first big sing of the year. As promised we're going to have a go at teaching you all the chorus of Solid Rock in Pitjantjatjarra.
Here's a pic of James' well travelled lyric sheet. It's a beautiful language, and so incredibly powerful when sung. It gives you chills!

Standing on solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change are blowin' down the line...
✊🏾❤️✊🏻

PS. If you're able to, we really appreciate advanced online ticket bookings as it helps us and the Taproom plan better for the night.
Many thanks and see you next Saturday night.

Super impressed with the latest poster promoting the next Young Leaders meeting on 2 March.

This was designed by one of our young leaders with input from the wider group. Well done team!

Pass on this information to other young people in Macedon Ranges - it’s not too late to get involved!!
