🐴 Building Trust, Connection & Confidence! 💛🖤❤️

Two weeks down, and our young people are already building connections, trying new things and growing in confidence through our Strength Through Equine Partnerships (S.T.E.P.) Program! 🙌🏽

Over the first two weeks, participants have been getting to know the horses, learning the ropes, and building trust with the horses, their peers, and the people around them.

From leading and caring for the horses to learning about body language, patience, communication and respect, every activity is an opportunity to develop skills that reach well beyond the riding arena.

Through yarning and reflecting, the young people are also exploring their identity, connection and personal goals in a supportive environment where they can learn at their own pace 🌻💪🏽

We’re proud to see our young mob giving things a go, building confidence and taking those first steps on their own journeys.

Two weeks down, six to go, and we're off to a gallop! 👏🏽🐎

Deadly things happening! ❤️💛🖤

Love seeing young people building skills, confidence and opportunities close to home. Big shoutout to Woorabinda’s Wadja Wadja High School for creating spaces where young people can learn, grow and thrive 👏🏽

MEDIA RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

To any team that has already paid a deposit for Warba Wangarunya - if you feel the January carnival is the best fit for your team and budget, we will gladly provide a full, no-questions-asked refund of your deposit.

What has always made Warba Wangarunya special isn’t just footy; it’s the culture, the connection, the passion, and the pride we share as a community.

While our genuine hope is to host a deadly carnival and keep Warba running strong into 2027 and maybe beyond, our loyalty is to “You”, the people.

If the community sentiment leans toward supporting the January carnival, DCYSI and the Warba Committee are fully prepared to postpone or cancel our event. Your voice will always guide our decisions.

One Community • One People • One Game
