The Gippsland Youth Drama Workshop is an uplifting and positive activity for our region's young people, giving them opportunities to express themselves, build life skills and develop new friendships from across the region.

We have had young stars involved in the GYDW from all your schools over the years. The GYDW is facilitated by the multi-award-winning Here There & Everywhere Theatre Co. and operates out of Council operated facilities. Of course, all our volunteers have many years of training, experience and WWCC.

There is nothing but positives. It's something wonderful that is going on in our community. And that's always worth talking about.

As we start look at an exciting year ahead for Gippsland Football, I’d like to introduce you to the first Footy 4 Fun program for 2022: 

The Gippsland Girls Footy Roadshow.

To support the AFLW’s future milestone of fielding teams for all 18 clubs by the end of 2022, we think it is more important now than ever that all aspiring junior-aged girls in Gippsland have access to a fun and engaging introduction to Australian Rules Football.

Starting in February and running through to April, AFL Victoria will be providing girls aged between 7-14 with the opportunity to experience female-only footy. With over 10 locations across Gippsland, girls will be able follow the roadshow and attend as many training sessions as they’d like. The events will go for roughly 1 and a half hours where they will learn the basic skills of AFL like kicking & handballing but more importantly, will walk away with a great experience filled with fun! Girls of all abilities and levels of experience are welcome to these training sessions.
