Last week we kicked off the holiday program with a buzz of activities aimed at making art, craft and costumes for this week’s Performance Showcase. Tony was busy making hats out of recycled goods with the final products being two cowboys, a pirate and Viking hats and well as some lovely Princess crowns.

The kids also helped him make 10 dog’s masks for one of the acts which were then painted. On the other end of the centre Colette and some helpers were busy with the costume making workshops. Kids helped glue, sew and cut out material to make over 50 outfits for the showcase. A big thank you to Colette Pearson for all her hard work and creative genius! We are very much looking forward to seeing everyone dressed up on the day!

On Tuesday Save the children i street workshops began with Tom, Joy and Gareth working with the kids to create comics. Kids were given i pads and a range of digital cameras to take photos and create their own comic. Some of these will also be on display on Friday at the Showcase.

Finally our Sports Day went ahead on Friday despite having few staff thanks to the help of the Tom, Joy and Gareth and their new Mobile Youth Van which came to the oval to allow kids a chance to finish comics, play music and learn turntable scratching. A big thank you to them for their fantastic workshops and support!

Please note that the Drop in Centre will be closed on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th for cleaning.
