Hello
It has been a busy term with only a couple of weeks remaining and we are now looking ahead to April and May. Our Term 2 program will be available very soon.
Committee member, Ann Gerlach, is holding a charity event for the Bushfire Appeal.
The only things you need to bring along are your sense of humour and some money for raffles. The afternoon is about connecting with others and raising funds for those who lost their homes in the recent bushfires. Join us on Saturday 27th of March 1.15 – 5pm at the Yangebup Family Centre for an afternoon of crafty fun to make eight cards (two each of four
designs). The cost is $50 and includes: everything you need to make 8 lovely cards with envelopes, a gift box to put some of them into, a yummy high tea and door prizes.
We are celebrating the end of term with lots of Easter Activities at the centre. The Yangebup Progress Association will be running a YPA Easter Eggs-perience on Sunday 28 March at 10am here at the centre! Come on down for some family Easter fun. There will be crafts, bonnet competitions, games
and of course... Chocolate!
The Yangi Hub is an unstructured play session held monthly on Mondays. This is a great introduction to the centre and a great way to find out about what else is available. The next one is on Monday 29 March from 9.30-11am, bring a gold coin donation, no bookings required.
The next Community Eats will be held on Friday 9 April from 6-7pm. The volunteers will be provided by the Cockburn Chinese Community Association.
Below are some program highlights for Term 2. Bookings are now open!
Building Resilience and Hope
|
We live in challenging times, and life can feel like a rollercoaster. We can feel overwhelmed, anxious, and despairing at times. Build your resilience and that of your community by taking part in these four workshops. Learn new tools and build connections!
These four workshops are for you, if you ask yourself:
- What future are we creating for our kids?
- How can I cope with what’s happening in the world?
- Can I make a difference?
- Are there others who feel the same?
9.15am - 11.45am Mondays
3 May, 10 May, 17 May, 24 May - please commit to coming to all four workshops
$22 for the workshop series & $22 per child for the creche (total for all four sessions)
Join Selina for Belly Dancing in Term 2. Bookings are now open. Selina started her belly dance journey in
1998. She is a certified belly dance instructor and has attended workshops including safe dance practice. The personal benefits gained have been great and many friends made along the way.
Belly dancing is a beautiful art form of exercise and fun for people of all ages. It assists to improve self esteem, confidence, body image, self expression and creativity. Bookings essential.
Term 2 - 5 weeks 3-31 May Monday 1.30-2.15pm

Audiowalks are a great way to learn about Western Australia’s history while exercising, and easy to use! Simply download the free MP3 to your
device, go to the section of the path marked as the beginning of the walk, press play and follow the directions from there. You will be asked to move to identifiable landmarks and listen to an account of the social and natural history associated with that site.
The Coogee walk is divided into two parts, each about one and a half kilometres long. One goes from Catherine Point to the Power Station, and the Other from the Omeo wreck to the ammunition Jetty. Each walk has eight stories. In the first walk, Monica describes how Carnac Island was briefly turned into a prison for Yagan and two other Aboriginal prisoners and the role Robert Menli Lyon played in that. Further on, she describes some of the 97 species of birds walkers are likely to spot along the
path. In the second walk, people hear the story of the Omeo and the massive storm that wrecked it in 1905, the story of heartbroken Austrian cavalry officer Carl von Hugel collecting plants in the area in the 1830s, and the chances (very slight) of being taken by a shark in the area.
