25.01.2022 I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend for WA Day. WA Day is held each year on the first Monday in June. It’s a day to celebrate all Western Australians, recognising our Aboriginal history, early European settlers and the many people from all over the world who have made, and continue to make, Western Australia their home. The bird emblem of Western Australia is the Black Swan. The Dutch navigator, Captain Willem de Vlamingh, gave the Swan River its name, due to the large number of Black Swans he found there in 1697. Indigenous Western Australians have a story that says that the ancestors of the Nyungar people were Black Swans who became men.

21.01.2022 Today is the start of Reconciliation Week 2020. Reconciliation is a journey for all Australians as individuals, families, communities, organisations and importantly as a nation. At the heart of this journey are relationships between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures.

16.01.2022 This week’s challenge at Brick Club was to build Extreme Shelters. One shelter for those needing to get out of the sun and heat and one for keeping warm and dry. Held every year at the beginning of August, Homelessness Week seeks to raise awareness around people experiencing homelessness. Homelessness comes in many forms: couch surfing, sleeping in the car, jumping from one short-stay accommodation to another, and of course sleeping rough. This year’s theme for Homelessness Week is Everybody Needs a Home. Well done to our Engineers this week for designing and building these fabulous homes. #HW2020

02.01.2022 Today is National Sorry Day when people come together to remember a very sad story - one about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were taken from their families over many years, because of their race, by government agencies and church missions. These children, now adults, are known as the Stolen Generations. As adults, many of the Stolen Generations are still trying to find their families, and are trying to connect with their traditional cultures and communit...ies. Many still feel very sad when looking back at the time when they were taken away from their families because they were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. It is called National Sorry Day, as the word ‘sorry’ is very significant to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples when thinking about sad events, difficult times, or what is sometimes called ‘sorry business’. On National Sorry Day, Australians from across the country come together to pay their respects to the Stolen Generations, and to remember their loss and the sadness that they and many other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders continue to face. The Native Hibiscus flower was is the official symbol for Sorry Day - often known as the Sorry Day Flower chosen because it is found widely across Australia and it is a survivor. Its colour denotes compassion and spiritual healing. Show your support and have a go at creating a Sorry Day Flower and post to our page.

02.01.2022 In line with public health advice and social distancing measures Escare has decided to not recommence Brick Club until Term 3, when phase 3 of the WA Government Road Map has been implemented and we understand what the relaxed measures will bring. Until then happy building and "Leg godt" (Danish for the word LEGO) meaning,"Play well".
