This keen recycler has returned our 2 millionth container! We've collected 2 million containers. 👏👏👏 That’s a big number of drink containers being recycled and not ending up as litter and landfill.

Go Perth and keep making change ♻️ Woohoo!

A big shoutout to our very own living treasure Stan Gough who celebrates his 80th birthday today.

Stan arrived at Parkerville as a four-year-old, back in 1945, and has devoted most of his life to helping young people. After leaving here to go farming as a 14-year-old, he and his wonderful wife Pam returned as cottage parents in the 1970s. Stan took over a manager of the Parkerville Farm where he taught generations of young people work skills and lessons from the school of life.

His commitment to hard work and life on the land is legendary as is his wicked sense of humour and love of a good practical joke.

Congratulations Stan and thank you for your lifetime connection to Parkerville! 🎂🥳

Thank you to Donna Faragher MLC pictured here with our CEO Kim Brooklyn, for your continued support of the children and young people we serve here at Parkerville Children and Youth Care. Thank you for helping us grow hope here this Christmas.🎄❤️

SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT | THOMAS MAYOR

Joining us at Finding Ground: Building a better way back together, will be Thomas Mayor,

Thomas Mayor is a Torres Strait Islander who was born and raised on Larrakia Land in Darwin. He was a wharfie for sixteen years before becoming an official of his union.

In 2017 he attended the Darwin Regional Constitutional Dialogue, where he was elected to represent the region at the Uluru National Constitutional Convention.

Since the overwhelming endorsement of the Uluru Statement at Uluru, Thomas has tirelessly advocated for the proposals in the Uluru Statement from the Heart, and is the author of ‘Finding the Heart of the Nation – the journey of the Uluru Statement towards Voice, Treaty and Truth’, published by Hardie Grant Books. His book tells his story, the story of the Uluru Statement, and features some of the remarkable Indigenous people that he met on his campaigning journey. A children’s version of the book was published in June 2020.

Thomas Mayor's keynote presentation is generously sponsored by Uniting WA.

Finding Ground: Building a better way back together Conference would not be possible without support from the Department of Communities and Lotterywest.

Young people can lead the way in shaping positive attitudes towards women by insisting on healthy, respectful relationships.

You’re invited to nominate!

Parkerville Children and Youth Care is looking for community members who would like to be part of its inaugural Community Panel for our Parkerville campus.

Along with former residents and other institutional stakeholders with which PCYC engages, the Community Panel will provide valuable input into PCYC’s future plans and local operations including immediate development of a parcel of land opposite the Parkerville Beacon Road Campus.

The Panel will also help to inform PCYC’s local activities and decisions on a range of other matters relating to our presence in Parkerville through 2021 and beyond.

Panel members will contribute to discussion, raise any issues of concern, provide feedback and help organise volunteer groups to participate in environmental and other initiatives.

It is hoped that some members of the Panel will be able to hold their first meeting in 2020 and help set the agenda for further meetings in January and February.

Nomination is open to anyone keen to be involved. The Panel will be large enough to be representative of our community and small enough to be practical and effective. All appointments will be at PCYC’s discretion.

Members will not be renumerated but we hope the reward of joining us in being active members of our fabulous community will be significant!

If you’d like to nominate, please head to our website at https://parkerville.org.au/Engage/Community, fill out the nomination form and email it to community@parkerville.org.au by 11th December 2020.

An inaugural Panel will be established by mid-December though nominations for additions to the Panel will be also be accepted after this date. It is not anticipated that every Panel member will be available to attend every meeting.

For more information, please email community@parkerville.org.au.

Breaking the cycle of family and domestic violence starts with respect towards women.

A wonderful message from our friends over at The Fathering Project on the importance of unconditional love this festive season. 🎄

Unconditional love is when our children know they are loved, not because of what they do or don’t do, but because they are your child. ❤️

Unconditional love is not based on children’s performance, marks at school, what they look like or what they are good at. We want children to know they are loved no matter what. They need to know 100 percent that you will not put them down or be there for them. 🥰
