Community Event | Youth Fest

In September, St Arnaud proudly hosted Youth Fest, part of the Victorian Youth Fest month-long celebration that champions the creativity and ideas of young people.

The afternoon was filled with activities, games, food, and live music, enjoyed by over 80 attendees.

The event was led by Grampians Youth Events (GYE) St Arnaud, a dedicated group of local young people, and supported by EWHS Health Promotion team.

We thank the Victorian Government for supporting this event through Youth Fest funding.

🌿 Gratitude at Donald Campus 🌿

Over the past month, the Health Promotion Team have been visiting each campus as part of their Resilience Project, asking staff and residents one simple but powerful question: What are you grateful for?

The responses have been inspiring, and a beautiful reminder of the power in everyday moments. We've captured a few of these special reflections in photos. (All photos shared with consent.)
