24.01.2022 This one is for the 13-18yr olds in your life... Life can be hectic and exhausting, and this year it’s been downright weird. 'Create and Connect' offers a weekly afternoon space to connect, chill and get creative with other like-minded young people. While we still can't meet for face-to-face Workshops at Bluebird House, we CAN meet online. Join artist Liz McGrath for this FREE Term Four program....

23.01.2022 Lots of things have been cancelled lately... but do you know what HASN'T been cancelled? NATURE! Nature hasn't been cancelled... Newcomb Park Primary School students love to get outside and engage with the natural world through our NatureLinks program, facilitated by Lucy Jones. Here’s a peek at an activity that involved matching a collection of objects as closely as possible. The combinations are endless, the creativity is boundlessand the fun is infinite!... #joy #inclusion #integrity #bluebirdfoundationgeelong

20.01.2022 The support of Give Where You Live Foundation and Australian Communities Foundation ensures that we can continue to connect young people with like-minded peers and artistic mentors. Weekly moments of joy and connection can make all the difference in our community. THANK YOU for your support! #joy #inclusion #integrity

19.01.2022 WE ARE THE ROCKHEADS In March, when MusicSpace moved online, a goal was set - to create a music video together. During lockdown the group met weekly on Zoom, staying connected through singing, playing and listening to music together, working towards their dream of making their own music video. [Using Zoom is the] best option if we can’t be in person, it works really well.... The Bluebird team sent out guide tracks and everyone got busy, filming themselves at home singing and playing. Finally, after hours in the editing studio, this week the group were able to come together again and watch the premiere of the video. The joy and pride in the room was enough to make one’s heart burst. In loving memory of Jeff Oliver and proudly supported by the Raymond Charities, Sidney Myer Fund and Scope.
