✨ EOI: School Readiness Holiday Program ✨

Monaro Family Support Service will be offering a School Readiness holiday program in January 2026. We would like to invite students starting Kindergarten in 2026 to join our program led by our Speech Pathologist and Therapy Assistant. At this stage, we are seeking Expressions of Interest from families across the Snowy Monaro area and will later confirm dates and locations.

The focus of this program will be increasing participation and independence in group activities and following a daily routine. The program will be designed to support the development of language, social and emotional, cognitive and early literacy skills. Children can wear their school uniforms and will be asked to bring drink bottles and morning tea.

To express your interest in days and locations, please contact Michaela via email, or call our office Monday - Thursday.

Monaro Family Support Service Announces New Committee Leadership Following 2025 AGM

Monaro Family Support Service (MFSS) held its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, 3 December at 10:30am, marking an important moment of transition and growth for the organisation.

After 14 years of dedicated service on the committee - including the past five years as President - Kirsty Salvestro has stepped down from her leadership role. MFSS extends its sincere gratitude for her commitment, guidance, and significant contributions over more than a decade. Her impact has been deeply valued, and we thank her wholeheartedly for her long-standing service to the organisation and the Snowy Monaro community.

MFSS is pleased to announce the appointment of Samara Byrne as the incoming President. Samara has served on the Board for 6 years. She is a mental health professional and brings a strong understanding of the organisation, its values, and its future direction. We believe Samara is an excellent fit for the role, and we look forward to another successful year under her leadership.

We are also delighted to welcome new committee members Margaret Blake, Mary Marrapodi, and Georgie Hood, who join our continuing members Jono Forrest, Jen Brown, David Eldershaw, and Taryn Stasakova.

The year 2025 represents a period of change and growth for Monaro Family Support Service. With the continued dedication of our team, we look forward to building on our strengthened foundations and advancing our mission to support the community across the Snowy Monaro region.

🌾 JUST A FARMER - Bombala Screening 🌾

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at Club Bombala for our community film screening of 'Just A Farmer', presented in partnership with Monaro Farming Systems. It was a powerful and moving film, and we were so pleased to host around 80 attendees. The collective spirit of the local community in the room made the evening incredibly special.

We were especially honoured to be joined by Leila McDougall, who both stars in the film and spoke on the night. Her insight, warmth, and passion into the importance of raising awareness for mental health struggles that are faced within rural farming communities added so much depth to the event, and we are very grateful for her time and contribution.

We would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to the continued generosity of our community and the many local businesses who sponsored the event, donated raffle prizes, and helped make the night such a success.

All funds raised will go directly toward supporting our Navigate Forward program, helping to support local young people in our region access opportunities, resources, build confidence, and thrive.

We are so grateful for the support, connection, and heart shown by our community 💙
