A special youth gathering provided a terrific opportunity for Yarrie youth to come together, connect, yarn and talk about the things that matter to them, their families and their community at the Yarrabah Leisure Centre recently. ❤️

Coordinated by Gurriny Yealamucka Youth Wellbeing team in conjunction with other stakeholders, the gathering was an important opportunity for the recently established Yarrabah Youth Committee to come together and continue building its capacity, compliance and good governance.

With a core group of young people aged 16–25 already involved, there is a strong foundation - but more Yarrie youth are encouraged to step forward, be involved, have a say, be heard and become part of Gurriny Youth Hub Committee. 🔥

Interested in being part of Gurriny Yealamucka Youth Committee? Drop into the Youth Hub to have a yarn & nominate.

Theeran Pearson was invited to talk about their Corporation's Yarrabah Youth Council, a space for young people to share ideas, plan projects and events, build leadership skills and help create opportunities for their community.

All of this work is about creating stronger, positive opportunities for Yarrabah’s young people and supporting the community’s broader Closing the Gap charter.

The gathering also provided Yarrie youth an opportunity to hear about the work already underway, share their ideas, aspirations and experiences and continue developing the Youth Council’s key priorities and pillars which consist of:

💼 Employment
📚 Education
🌟 Leadership
⚖️ Justice
🏉 Sport
🌿 Culture

There’s some special milestones to celebrate this week, with Uncle Russell Barlow marking 12 years of service with Gurriny Yealamucka.

Over those 12 years, Uncle Russell has made a valued contribution through his commitment, hard work and dedication to supporting GYHSAC and the people around him. His reliability, strong work ethic and willingness to help have been greatly appreciated by colleagues and community alike.

🙌🏾 Thank you, Uncle Russell, for 12 years of dedicated service!

And there’s another big milestone being celebrated - one of our valued transport drivers, Clifton Burns, hits the big 5-0! tomorrow. 🎂🥳

We hear Clifton has some pretty big plans for his 50th, which includes a skydive!!

Now that’s one way to celebrate a milestone birthday!

🎉 Happy 50th birthday, Clifton! We hope you have an absolutely deadly day, enjoy the celebrations and - most importantly - enjoy the skydive! ... See MoreSee Less

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗛𝗗 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗿𝗼𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱! ☀️🤝🏾

The Operations and RHD teams swapped the workplace for the beautiful surrounds of Fitzroy Island late last week for a joint team bonding day - and what a day it was! 😊🌊

With spectacular scenery and good company, team members made the most of the opportunity to relax, reconnect and enjoy some time together outside of work.

🥾 Some took on the challenge of walking to the lighthouse and island summit, taking in the incredible views along the way, while others headed to Nudey Beach to soak up the beautiful island waters. 🏝️🌊

After all that exploring, the teams came together for a well-earned bite to eat at Pier Bar, wrapping up a great day with plenty of laughs, yarns and good company. 🍽️😊

It was a deadly opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, strengthen connections and enjoy each other’s company in a beautiful setting.
