🎄🌱 Community Christmas Cheer in Rupanyup🌱🎄

Christmas music filled the air with Peter Miller sharing festive tunes, while some Rupanyup residents enjoyed time in the community vegetable garden. 🌿

Just two months ago, zucchini and capsicum were seeded — and it’s wonderful to see the garden growing alongside strong community connections. A lovely reminder of how music, nature, and community bring us together at this special time of year 🎶✨

📸 First Aid for Parents & Carers! 👶🩹

Thank you to everyone who joined the First Aid for Parents & Carers workshops! It was wonderful to see so many parents, caregivers, and community members come together to learn practical skills and gain confidence in managing childhood illnesses and injuries.

From basic first aid techniques to helpful tips for everyday situations, it was a hands-on, informative session — and we loved seeing everyone so engaged and asking great questions!

🆘 If you missed out this time, don’t worry — keep an eye out for future sessions. Your safety skills as a parent or carer are always worth investing in!
