19.01.2022 There is an Australian Aboriginal anthem written by Hollis Maris (1934 to 1986). Australian Aboriginal Anthem I am a child of the Dreamtime People... Part of this land, like a gnarled gum tree I am the river softly singing Chanting our songs on my way to the sea My spirit is the dust-devils Mirages that dance on the plain I'm the snow, the wind and the falling rain I'm part of the rocks and the red desert earth Red as the blood that flows in my veins I am eagle, crow and snake that glides Through the rain forest that clings to the mountainside I awakened here when the earth was new There was emu, wombat, kangaroo No other man of different hue I am this land And this land is me I am Australian.

15.01.2022 R U OK is such an important day for us at Whitelion. Not only do we check in on our young people today, this is a conversation we as youth workers have daily. Today we had Daniel Dee and our prac student Cat run a stall at Aveley Secondary college. Daria collaborated with Annie from the City of Swan along with some volunteer young people from the Youth Leadership Group who assisted with a stall at Ballajura Community College. ... This week at Drop in, we made some stress balls, had a sing along and the young people provided some of their tips on how they look after their mental health. It’s okay to not be okay! Reach out, check in on a friend. It could make a massive difference #RUOK #mentalhealthawareness #aveleysecondarycollege #ballajuracommunitycollege #cityofswan #youthworkwa #whitelionyouthagency #dropincentre #dungeonyouthcentre #stressballs #singalong
