All Things Hub

On Wednesday the 15th of May, we were honoured to have hosted special visitors from The Department of Home Affairs; Assistant Secretary Zoe Williams and Brian Myers Director of the Settlement Grants Section. Our head of program from Community Hubs Australia Rebecca Kotow was also able to accompany out guest. They were able to visit our playgroup and had great conversations with our mums and bubs. Our lovely parent volunteer Makara Chour welcomed the group by doing an Acknowledgement of Country before our next parent Dildar Begum shared her story with the group on how hub has positively impacted her life. We were then able to gift our special visitors with hand knitted coffee cup warmers which our mothers made during Women’s Wellbeing group made. They were truly touched by their visit and to quote from Rebecca ‘They loved every moment of their visit and now have a much better understanding of who comes to hubs and why’. 

In addition to this, we also had the Chief Financial Officer Justin from Foodbank visit our School Breakfast club on the Springvale Campus. He was truly amazed by how many students came to breakfast club and loved that our students began their morning by eating a healthy, hearty breakfast with their friends and peers. We were also able to present Foodbank with a certificate to recognise the incredible support they provide our school. This is also a reminder that Food Relief which is proudly supported by Foodbank is open to all on each campus every week. Please see below for more information.
