Youth Engagement at Northside

14/10/2026

🎾 What a fantastic day on the court! 🎾

On behalf of our Youth Services team, we would like to thank everyone specially the young people who joined us for our Tennis Competition as part of the Spring School Holiday Program.

It was great to see so many young people getting involved, building new skills, showing great sportsmanship and, most importantly, having fun! From friendly matches, other challenging games to plenty of laughs, the day was a wonderful success.

A big thank you to everyone who participated and helped create such a positive and welcoming atmosphere. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

A special shout-out to Ronny, who helped make the event a little greener by ensuring all bottles and cans used on the day were collected and recycled. ♻️💚

We are looking forward to seeing many of you again in our next school holiday program. 😊
