This week is Loneliness Awareness Week (3-9 August) ⭐

This year’s theme, Make Room for Connection, celebrates the everyday ways people living in Australia are making room for connection and shines a spotlight on those who are, or want to be, connectors in their communities, workplaces, schools and neighbourhoods.

Each week, as we open our doors to the community, we're reminded of just how valuable connection is. Whether you're a student who has been learning with us term after term for years, someone who has recently started classes, we are so happy to have you with us! If you are looking to join our programs but aren't sure where to start, we've got just the event for you! 🥳

On Thursday 20th August from 10am we will be running a FREE Permaculture Workshop and Community Lunch to celebrate National Science Week - this is the perfect opportunity to learn something new, sharing a meal with likeminded people and to get a feel for MRFEC if you're new to us. 🌿

RSVPS are required for catering purposes, and bookings can be made on our website or by giving our team a call on 03 5428 3799.

If that's not for you, we also offer pro-rated rates for all of our courses with places available if you want to join after the term has commenced. We also have free trials for our movement and exercise classes, as well as our Art and Drawing and Calligraphy classes!

Not a gardening enthusiast? No problem! We offer a wide range of courses, workshops and events throughout the term. From monthly Bingo and Calligraphy to Xero and much more, there’s something for everyone. We're also looking for new house members - speak to our team for more information! 👏

The Australian Government will test the new AusAlert national warning system, at 2 pm on Monday 27 July 2026 AEST.

AusAlert uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile phones during local and national emergencies.

Mobile devices across Australia should receive the test alert before the system launches in October.

During the test:
✅ a message will appear on your screen
✅ your device may vibrate and play a loud siren-like sound for about 10 seconds
✅ you do not need to do anything if you receive the test alert.

The system is also being tested with assistive technology, such as hearing aids, screen readers and Braille displays.

If the alert could disrupt you or make you or someone you support feel unsafe, you can turn your device off or switch it to aeroplane mode before the test time.

To learn more about AusAlert and access resources, see the comments below. 👇
