Parent and Community Engagement are about connecting and empowering community parents, youth and families


                                                             August Newsletter

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families can benefit a great deal by having the opportunity to share their skills and their knowledge with other parents in their community.

           
                                                              
JCU TOUR
Woree PaCE parents had the privilege of joining the Gordonvale PaCE parents on a tour of James Cook University. They all found it very inspiring and empowering to hear some great stories from the Indigenous beacons who host the tour. One day they too will be telling their stories to others.  


                           
HOME SWEET HOME
It’s been 7 long years for Ms Alpin. Now she has the enjoyment of her own home.
 She quotes “this is the happiest her kids have ever been for years.”

                            
DAWAL WURU FASHION SHOWCASE
Not every day you would see the average Indigenous models be part of a fashion show. Dawal Wuru had the chance to show case our local clothing shops and Indigenous designer’s outfits. It was the models first time on the catwalk. 
         
                                    









PLAY GROUP ART & CRAFT DAY
The parents and their little ones from the Whiterock playgroup enjoyed working together to build their own mobile cars. Ms Wallace accompanied the kids on a journey by singing the Wheels on the Bus song. 

                                 


COMPUTER LESSONS
Parents took their first computer lessons at FNQRSM conference room. They learnt the in’s & outs of the computer. They look forward to the next lesson. Anyone looking to learn how to use a computer? Feel free to come join in.


INSPIRED BY CHILIES
Since Ms Burke has been involved with the PaCE program, it has empowered her to share with the community her creative talent in making chilly.
