TRANSITION TO A SAFE CLIMATE: CREATING A NEW STORY FOR BANYULE - CONFERENCE

4th & 5th May, 2018

Dear Collingwood College families living or working in Banyule,

We all know how important our community groups, schools and other organisations are in making a difference to​ the vibrance and liveability of​ our local area​.

Here is an opportunity for you to participate in ​a joint community initiative to do something together to improve our environment. 

We invite interested members of ​the Collingwood College​​ school community to be part of the Transition to a Safe Climate: creating a new story for Banyule ​conference at Macleod College on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 May​ 2018.​

​

This event will bring together a diverse group of residents representing all of Banyule’s suburbs and its varied ​residents and ​community groups. 

It is being organised by the local network of Transition groups – Transition Banyule, Transition 3081, Transition Warringal, Sustainable Macleod, Sustainable Greensborough, and Montmorency Community Group. 

The conference is supported by both Macleod College and a Banyule City Council Environmental Sustainability Grant, auspiced by Olympic Adult Education.​

‘Transition’ is a movement of communities coming together to re-imagine and rebuild our world. It is about local people coming together to address the big challenges we face. We hope members of ​the school community will be able to join in the conversations about the concrete action in response to climate change that we might take across our suburbs.

Bookings are essential: http://www.trybooking.com/TYIN

COLLINGWOOD TOY LIBRARY

The Collingwood toy library is a community-owned resource for families in the City of Yarra and surrounding areas, operated on a non-profit basis and managed by a committee of volunteer members who are elected annually.

We are getting in touch with local schools in the area to promote our activities and resources for school-age children.

We have recently added a large collection of  board games for school-aged children and more games in foreign languages including Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Vietnamese. We also have a board games club and holiday activities, as well as other family-friendly community events throughout the year.
