It features articles about the people of 3214  and offers a wealth of programs and activities which are available across our 3 Community Houses. It also has messages from our local member Ella George and other local organisations but especially there is always a story or two about the college and what our students have been up to ove the past term.

The publication is intended to be in everyone's mailbox across our community and spare copies are found around other centres such as Corio Village and CoGG sites.

OZCHILD

Local foster care agency, OzChild is looking for families who might be interested in opening their homes, and their hearts to provide local kids with forever homes

We recently learnt from local foster care agency, OzChild, that they are on a desperate search for individuals and families in Melbourne’s western suburbs to consider becoming foster carers. 

According to OzChild, there are children as young as eight who are currently living in group homes, with other children they don’t know, and of varying ages, supervised by youth workers rather than having the attention of parental figures. 

The agency is hoping to hear from anyone in a position to provide a child in Melbourne’s west with stability, permanency, and love. With an increasing number of local children in need of forever homes, the organisation has reached out to us to put a callout for families who can help.

To learn more about becoming a foster carer with OzChild interested individuals are encouraged to visit www.ozchild.org.au. The organisation's dedicated team is ready to provide information, answer questions, and guide potential foster carers through the application process.

Common Ground Project is excited to host another school holiday program! Participants will be immersed in our regenerative farm and social enterprise for the day. Children aged 6-14 are welcome to come along, learn about food and farming, feed our friendly farm animals, and meet fun new people.
