22.01.2022 Candombe (an Africa-derived drumming rhythm and dance that is an important part of Uruguayan culture) got kids and adults moving last weekend at the Brunwick Cultural Harmony Fiesta at Brunswick Neighbourhood House. Other activities, including a gardening workshop and face painting, ensured everyone was entertained. Thanks to Mosaik Experiences for sharing the fun (and Sue Jackson for the photos!) #candombe

19.01.2022 A free, online course for people with beginner-English listening and speaking skills who want to learn to read and write. Small, friendly classes three times a week for nine weeks. Enrol by contacting us on 9386 9418 / [email protected] / www.bnhc.vic.edu.au

18.01.2022 I know everyone’s hanging out for this one so I’ll cut to the chase. Victoria will move to the Last Step from 11.59pm tonight. That’ll mean more people can get ...together 15 visitors to your home and 50 outdoors in a public place. Numbers at gyms will increase to 150 with group limits of 20 and venue density limits. Hospitality also increases to 150 inside for larger venues and 50 for smaller ones with density limits based on their size. Up to 150 people can attend weddings and funerals. And the number caps will be increased for other venues community centres, galleries, museums and more. I'll put all the details in the comments. There will be a staged return to offices for staff who've spent the past six+ months in Zoom meetings too with up to 25 per cent able to come back onsite at any one time. Everyone else will need to keep working from home. We’re also changing the rules around masks. They’ll still be mandatory indoors and on PT but you won’t need one outside, so long as you’re able to keep a safe distance from others. To put it into context, that means wearing a mask if you’re at a busy outdoor market or event but not if you’re out walking the dog. You'll need to carry a mask at all times for when it's required. I’m sure some people think everything should be thrown open completely now that we’ve gone three weeks without a case. But that’s precisely the point. We’ve only got to zero cases because of masks and distancing and everyone playing their part. Keeping these protections around a bit longer means that if we were to get a case, the risk of it spreading faster and wider will be much lower. And most Victorians would agree it’s a relatively small imposition for a potentially huge benefit. Just finally, to everyone looking ahead to Christmas and planning how many seats at the lunch table you'll be able to have 30 visitors at home, including kids. We'll have more to say on other settings soon, based on the latest public health advice. This has been a year like no other and one most of us would probably rather forget. Victorians have sacrificed so much and done it so tough. But even in the darkest of winter days, we stuck together and supported each other. And for that I am so grateful and so very proud.

September 2nd was Early Years Educators' Day, so we would like to take this opportunity to belatedly thank Jie and Prathiba for their fabulous work at Garden St. They are much loved, and we were glad some of the children got to (virtually) share that delicious looking muffin with them!
