Where everyone belongs

The week is a celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. 

The week is a time to acknowledge and reflect on the many faces that make up our community and how everyone brings with them their stories, food, language, and traditions that make Australia such a vibrant country to live in, particularly the City of Casey.

Balla Balla Community Centre is in Clyde North and recognised the amazing diversity within our community and will celebrate this with a Free Open Day where ‘Everyone Belongs’.

The day will be on Saturday 22 March from 11.30am – 3.00pm.

The day will be a celebration to share in cultural performances, activities for the children including an animal farm, face painter, balloon artist, art and craft activities as well as henna tattooing and kite making. There will be food available on the day as well as market stalls for you to browse through.

Bring along your family and friends and celebrate the day with other community members.
