It’s that time of year again where Bundoora Secondary College music students host their Spring Music Festival to showcase their efforts and talent. We will also have our students performing as special guests! We are hoping to hold the event outside in our BSC Piazza this year and it will have a picnic type of vibe, so bring your picnic rug, picnic basket and come along for an evening of fabulous music. 

Tickets are $5 and include a free soft drink and popcorn. Food and Beverage for sale on the evening and includes pizza, mini charcuterie boxes, coffee, slushies, soft drinks. 

Tickets are limited so it is suggested to get in sooner rather than later (later being Sunday 7th September).  https://www.trybooking.com/DERLJ

What is Saver Plus ?

It’s a free financial education program funded by the Federal Government and Department of Social Services, that helps parents and carers on lower incomes to build financial skills while saving for school-related costs.

Families who join not only receive up to $500 in matched savings, but they also gain practical money skills through free financial education workshops, helping them feel more in control of their finances.

With the rising cost of living, many families are feeling the pressure—especially when it comes to covering education related expenses like books, uniforms, laptops, I pads  or excursions. This is where Saver Plus can be a real blessing. 

Eligibility includes:

• Having a Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card
• Having a child in school (or starting next year), or studying themselves
• Having a regular income (from work, partner, or Centrelink payments)

Northern District Softball Association will be running a 6 session Home Run Heroes T-Ball and Softball School Holiday Program from Mon – Wed, both weeks of the school holidays, from 10am – 12pm.  

CHRISTINA’S ART THERAPY STUDIO IN VIEWBANK

My name is Christina and I run an Art Therapy practice in Viewbank.  I have a Master’s degree in Art Therapy from Latrobe University and registration through ANZACATA.

I run both Individual Art Therapy and Group Art Therapy for children, adolescents and youth who are neurodiverse (Autism, Asperger’s, ADHD, ADD, Specific Learning Disorders).

• Helps your child to regulate their own emotions
• Has a calming/ relaxing effect
