Over the years, more than 23-million wonderful volunteers have stepped up, pulled on their gloves, and donated their time to improve the environment. Together, we can make a big, positive impact on our environment – 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲!

𝗞𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝘂𝗸 (𝗘𝗲𝗹) 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 – 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵

The First Peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation, including the Traditional Owners of this land, the Wurundjeri woiwurrung people, measure change with an annual cycle of seasons marked by changes in the land, animals, water and sky.

On this land there are seven annual seasons while two non-annual seasons, fire and flood, occur on average, every seven and 28 years.

Today marks the start of the 𝗹𝘂𝗸 season, when the hot winds cease and temperatures cool. The eels are ready to eat, the manna gum flowers and the Hunter constellation is seen due south at sunset.

Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007, this day advocates for social justice as a foundation for peace, equality, and sustainable development worldwide, highlighting the importance of addressing global challenges such as poverty, exclusion, unemployment, gender inequality, and human rights.

World Day of Social Justice is directly connected to multiple 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 through its focus on inequality, employment, and inclusion.

Years of underfunding mean too many Neighbourhood Houses are operating with limited staff and stretched resources.

• Increase funding for Neighbourhood Houses by 25%

𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 / 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 🐎

For those in our community that celebrate, we wish you a year full of happiness, health, prosperity and lots of good fortune!

A day that is celebrated in China, many East and Southeast Asian countries and countries like Australia with a wonderful large Asian community, a commonly held understanding of the Chinese/Lunar New Year is that each year is linked to a zodiac animal, with each zodiac sign imparting its qualities to the year.

𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 is the year of the 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲.

People born in the Year of the Horse (1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026) are generally regarded as independent, energetic, and adventurous.

Significance: The Horse is the 7th animal in the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, associated with strength, energy, and freedom.

The Fire Element: The Fire Horse (occurring last in 1966) brings intense, "loud," and volatile energy, pushing for rapid progress, innovation, and, in some cases, disruptive change.

Predictions: Expect a year of high-speed change, with stalled projects moving quickly and a strong focus on public reinvention, social gatherings, and travel.

Cultural Traditions: Families will celebrate with reunion dinners, red envelopes (hongbao), and, in many regions, festive decorations to welcome the spring.

Compatibility & Feng Shui: The Year of the Horse is most compatible with Tiger, Goat, and Dog, while potentially challenging for Rat, Ox, and Snake. The Economic Times suggests using water elements (like a bowl of water) to balance the high fire energy and adopting earthy tones to maintain stability.

About Us

Glenroy Neighbourhood Learning Centre is a community development and education services provider, neighbourhood house, and Registered Training Organisation (RTO). Our charity offers a suite of digital literacy courses, language and literacy programs, health and well being activities, occasional childcare, and opportunities for young people.

Glenroy Neighbourhood Learning Centre had its origins in 1978 when staff at Broadmeadows Community Health Centre found many of their clients required language and literacy skills. The Council of Adult Education (CAE) was approached to train volunteer literacy tutors for an adult literacy program in Glenroy. The program, delivered by volunteers in the Glenroy Library, was one of the first in the country.

Since that time, some developments in the history of the organisation include:

Becoming a neighbourhood house in 1999.
