25.01.2022 A great opportunity for those aged between 12-25, undertake training and develop skills that can support your peers. Read on...

25.01.2022 Neil from the Men's Shed made the Community Houses Christmas trees this year. Thanks to Jenny for a wonderful decorating job. Come in and check them out.

24.01.2022 You know Christmas isn't far away when Buddy from Waranga News comes to stay. He's staying for the week and would love to have his photo taken with anyone visiting the Community House.

24.01.2022 Restrictions continue to be in place across Victoria: Victorians outside the Metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire are being asked to use common sense when it comes to visiting friends and family, especially those who are more vulnerable. That means seeing only those you need to if you need to. Those in the Metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire can only go in and out of these areas for three reasons: shopping for food and supplies, medical care and caregiving, and s...tudy or work if you can’t do it from home. Exercise and recreation will not be a reason to travel into or out of these areas. If you need to travel through Metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, you can. You should plan your trip so that you don’t need to stop in an impacted area unless it is for one of the three reasons. For those who live outside metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire wearing a face covering is recommended when it is difficult to maintain physical distance of 1.5 metres. Stay safe by washing your hands regularly, coughing and sneezing into your elbow, keeping at least 1.5 metres from others and staying home if you feel unwell. If you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) get tested. See more

22.01.2022 Keep your eye out for our Term 3 guide, due out next week. Have you thought about creating your own ukulele? Its one of our programs offered next term, check out the photos below.

21.01.2022 We look forward to you visiting Rushworth Community House, but we still need to remember to stay safe, so please read the flyer below and if you are not well get tested and stay home.

12.01.2022 Do you think a Rushworth Community Taxi Service would be a good thing ? The good news is that Rushworth has been funded to pilot a Community Taxi service for local residents of Rushworth, Stanhope and Colbo. The next step is to purchase a vehicle, and to assist us in understanding your needs we need the community to complete this survey. The information is used purely by the Community House Taxi steering committee to inform decisions that best suit community needs. The survey only takes a couple of minutes of your valuable time, make sure you have your say. https://docs.google.com//1a4zqKMFeSYRdmwDL1xNc8L/viewform
