Sleepover Yourspace

// October 23rd, 2009 // No Comments » // Blog, Events

Sleepover Yourspace was a blast! Around 15 people came and we ended up watching a movie called ‘Bring It On’ (corny chic flick) because ‘Up’ had a few problems…

Setting it up was HOT! But it was worth it ’cause we all had soo much fun and slept really early!! *cough cough*

We played the wii almost all night and Shakthi flogged at tennis!! :D After, we sat in a circle and introduced ourselves to everyone else, then some people wrote more things they wanted to see in Newman for a youth centre… Once we did that, it was time to settle down which was around 11:30pm to 12:00am.. We watched ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’ and everyone fell asleep… And of course I, (Kimberly) didn’t sleep until around 3:00 -4:00am because I’m pretty sure I had too much cordial… Hahahahaha!

Thanks to everyone that came to the movie night and the sleepover! We hope you had fun!

Youth Pathways

// September 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // Blog, Events, Newman Television, Our Say

Youth Pathways is a program designed to support youth who are experiencing barriers affecting their engagement in school. The program provides support for a number of issues ranging from Low Level school achievement, dissatisfaction at school, to issues which occur outside of school but affect school participation including homelessness and family disconnectedness. Youth Pathways provides one on one sessions as well as allowing for group work, to  build confidence in youth and allow them to develop skills such as leadership and team work. The curiousworks Pilbara Project, allowed Newman participants of the Youth Pathways program an opportunity to experience working on a media presentation as well as facilitated discussion on current youth issues, and comparisons of perspective of youth issues past and future.
