Calling all homeschool families in Cairns South!
We’re launching a FREE Youth Voice Project for ages 12–16, and your young creators are invited!
Over three weeks, participants will team up with local author Lachlann Carter to explore what life in their community feels like — their ideas, their hopes, their stories.
Their creations will sit alongside stories, poems and artwork from children participating in this project at two Cairns south schools, all coming together in a book to be launched later this year.
This isn’t just a creative project — their voices will help shape future Communities for Children programs.
✨ Details:
For children aged 12 to 16
3 sessions, 1.5 hours each (must attend all 3 sessions). See flyer for dates and times.
Must live in Cairns south (Earlville to Gordonvale including Little Mulgrave, Goldsborough Valley and East Trinity)
Parents attend too (let us know if you need to be in the room or if you are happy to join us in our courtyard for tea or coffee and a chat)
Interactive, imaginative, and fun
Free to join but bookings essential. Places are limited.
Held at Hambledon House Community Centre, 177 Bruce Highway Edmonton
Email me (Janelle) to RSVP or to find out more: [email protected]
If you’d love your child to be part of a project that celebrates youth voice and creativity, we’d love to have you join us! ��
This project is funded by Communities for Children Cairns south & Yarrabah through the Australian Government's Department of Social Services.
