Jilya Tharndu Youth Week – Youth Chella May 2026<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Our recent Youth-Chella event was a fantastic success, welcoming young people for an evening filed with fun, creativity and connection. The event transformed our Youth Centre into a vibrant space featuring a silent disco, graffiti wall, craft station, music and so much more. A huge thank you to the Shire of Ashburton for collaborating to help make the event possible. Youth-chella was wonderful opportunity for local young people to socialise in a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment. We thank everyone who attended the evening to make it such a memorable success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girls in Charge Program March 2026<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Girls In Charge 2026 was an undeniable success, delivering meaningful outcomes for participants and demonstrating strong value for the funding invested by the Department of Communities.  The program created a structured, supportive, and empowering environment for young women who often face significant pressures in their daily lives and who can struggle to navigate the barriers in the world around them.  The funding enabled GMCYSS to deliver a program that was not only educational, but also extremely meaningful for the participants.   From an organisational perspective, the investment was exceptionally well spent. It allowed the development of a program that addressed important areas that are not often spoken about openly in other arenas.  The program\u2019s design, which was practical, using experiential learning techniques, rather than lecture style, proved to be popular with the group and the outcomes reflected the effectiveness of this style of program delivery.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

December 2025 – Carols By Glowlight <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Carols By Glowlight 2025 was very different compared to previous years with the weather against our plans for this Annual Community Event. Everything was moved indoors in response to the storm that was approaching and with the towns Christmas spirit and commitment from all the services involved, Carols went ahead and it was definitely a night to remember!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our staff at GMCYSS enjoy working with the services involved ever year but specifically a special thank you to the Shire of Ashburton, Combined Tom Price Baptist Church, Nintirri Arts Hub, Pilbara Bruthas and Rio Tinto.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

October 2025 – Halloween <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n

Spooky Season did not disappoint! On Friday 31st October 2025, Garduwarra Mia’s Youth Centre was transformed into a Halloween walk through with unexpected corners of frights and scares! This year GMCYSS aimed to create a ‘spook-tacular’ experience for all community members to enjoy and participate in. With positive feedback and screams of joy, we look forward to 2026 and the exciting plans we have forming!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

June 2025 – Pride Month<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We were so lucky to welcome Barbie Q and Dean Misdale and friends to our centre for a night of Karaoke and fun. Our Karaoke with Drag Queens event was a hit. Thanks to Barbie Q, Dean Misdale and the Shire of Ashburton. This Pride month, we’re reminded that every voice matters, every identity shines and every person belongs. Here’s to love, laughter and lifting each other up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

May 2025 – Razzy Mak<\/strong> joined us for a song writing and reels session at the Tom Price Youth Centre as a part of our Reconciliation Week 2025 celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Razzy Mak showed the group a well structured process to create a song from concept to recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youth were happy to get involved in recording and we think we may have found some future rap talent amongst the group. We can’t wait to see the final product that will include Paraburdoo’s input as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
