Newcastle City Little Athletics registrations are now open for the 2026/7 season.

Little Athletics is a great way for children to get active, develop new skills and have fun in a friendly and supportive environment.

Together in Culture Day

Together in Culture Day will be held on Tuesday 29 September 2026, from 10:30am to 1:00pm at Speers Point Park (in front of MAP mima). The event is a free community celebration of Aboriginal culture, providing opportunities for families to come together, learn, participate in cultural activities, and connect with community.

The day will include:

Cultural workshops for all ages
Opportunities to learn and participate in traditional practices
Sausage sizzle
Family-friendly activities for the community
We would be grateful if you could distribute the attached flyer through your school communication channels and help spread the word amongst families.

Thank you for your ongoing support in promoting opportunities that celebrate and strengthen connections to Aboriginal culture.
