Yarrawonga College P-12 Community Workshop

The Community Workshop is located in Barry's Shed. Approximately 250 students access the Community Workshop every week.

The Yarrawonga College P-12 Community Workshop is a program that has been operating since 2000 when the school (Yarrawonga College P-12) determined that there was a high degree of interest amongst the students and their families as well as community members wanting to volunteer their time to work with students. The Community Workshop consists of approximately 60 volunteers from various cultural an

d artistic backgrounds. The aim of the program is to provide child centred activities and therapeutic support to students through a wide range of creative activities and mentoring by our volunteers. We act as a safe space for students who required and/or benefit from one-on-one assistance and therapeutic interventions. Our volunteers act as mentors for a number of students who attend the Workshop sharing their skills in a range of artistic forms including mosaics, woodwork, papier mâché, indigenous art, sculptures, weaving, acting and lots more. In 2018 thanks to a very generous donation from a community member, who saw firsthand the benefits that the Workshop provided for students, their families and our volunteers, we were able to have our very own purpose-built workspace. Most students attend on more than one occasion whether it be that they are timetabled to come during class, or they just come over at recess and lunch. As a result, every student at YCP-12 is given the opportunity to access this truly amazing program every year. As well as providing a creative space for students and community members, we also provide wellbeing and welfare support to those in need whether it be students and their families or a member of the community. We act as a support hub for our school families and members of the community who require support. Through this we are able to provide a range of assistance through, weekly food hampers, referring to other organisations and implementing supports that are meaningful and provide assistance for the individual and/or family.

Students had fun flying kites at lunchtime on Tuesday and were a hit for the rest of the week with students problem solving and working together to get their kite up off the ground in sometimes challenging times with the wind.

Our beloved Denise touched a lot of hearts throughout her time volunteering with us and some of our students wanted to share their memories of Denise.

Denise was valued and loved by everyone and made a significant impact on not just our school community but our wider local community.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our beautiful volunteer, Denise.

Denise was an integral member of our volunteer family helping with our weekly P-4 Breakfast Program, organising the weekly food hampers for families and ensuring that students who needed breakfast, recess or lunch were looked after.

Last Thursday students on our P-4 Campus were treated to a lunchtime dance party.

Thank you to Jackson for bringing in his sound system and amazing DJ skills.

Everyone who attended loved it and had a great time.

Even the volunteers enjoyed watching students pull out their best dance moves.

Last Friday we received a very generous donation from Variety - the Children's Charity of Victoria including a range of arts and crafts supplies and Lego and other activities for students to enjoy.

It’s the generosity of community organisations like Variety as well as our local community that allows us to do what we do here in the Workshop.

Interested in seeing what goes on behind the doors???

Make sure to stay tuned as we have a number of projects in the planning stages and can’t wait to share some BIG announcements soon!
