Out and about
National Tradie Day
In August we headed to Bendigo TAFE’s
Charlston Road campus for their National
Tradie Day event. We created activities for
students to participate in while learning about
headspace services, and Jeremy Forbes
from HALT Australia gave a rousing talk
about the importance of reaching out for
support and checking in on mates. A big
thank you to everyone at Bendigo TAFE for
holding such an important event to highlight
the importance of seeking support for your
mental health and wellbeing while celebrating
the wonderful work tradies do.
Boys to the Bush
In September we headed along to the Boys
to the Bush Community Engagement Day.
The experience focused on engagement in
learning stations, sports participation, mental
health and fostering friendships outside a
classroom setting. It was wonderful to meet
the grade 6 staff and students from primary
schools around our region. Huge shout out
to Narelle for the opportunity to be part of
such an amazing event.
Boort Show
In October we were invited
back to the Boort Show and
what a wonderful, rural
event it was. Among other
things, we loved chatting to
anyone stopping by the tent,
seeing the trucks roll in for
the Truck Show and
watching the excitment from
everyone who entered the
many competitions available
to show off their skills.
