Local Word Writer's Festival
Forming Connected Family Relationships through Storytelling
Local Word Writers Festival - Presentation with Q&A
As parents, we all want to feel connected with our children. We want to create nourishing relationships built on love and trust.Helping our children to learn to be resilient in the face of today’s challenges and mental health struggles is one of our key roles as a parent. Using personal stories not only helps our children learn these skills, but it also helps us to build connected relationships. Led by Andy McNeilly, this workshop is filled with stories and examples of how to do this at home. You will walk away with simple strategies to help your children learn the skills to become more resilient and face the challenges of today’s world.
As a primary school teacher, Andy McNeilly noticed that schools were doing a great job of teaching the academics, but students were lacking social and emotional learning skills. He started to run some workshops to help parents, and after receiving great feedback, he decided to write a book. Connecting with Your Kids was Andy’s first book, released in 2019. His second book, Connecting with your Teens, was released in 2023.
Up to 20 participants aged 18+. For parents, educators and aspiring writers.
Tickets $20pp OR $10pp for library members (free to join).

City of Greater Geelong Wadawurrung Country
On the 26 October, 2024, 11 new councillors will be elected onto the City of Greater Geelong Council. These people will be responsible for representing their communities and shaping what Greater Geelong looks like for the next four years and beyond.
It is important our councillors know what the community wants and needs, and this includes hearing from the children who call Greater Geelong home.
We want to know where your favourite places and spaces to visit in Greater Geelong are. This information will be provided to Council and will help them develop the four-year Council Plan 2025-2029.
Follow this link so that the children have the opportunity to tell us which places and spaces they like to visit.
