We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this Land, the Dharug people, and their continued connection to Country.
We pay our respects to Elders from yesterday to tomorrow.
We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Blacktown City where the flannel flowers still grow proud and strong.
We will walk softly on this land and open our hearts to Country as the Dharug people have for tens of thousands of years.

Join us for an afternoon tea with artists Louise Zhang, Jess Bradford and HOSSEI this Saturday 27 July from 1pm to 3pm! Register here

In Lost and Found Films, 9-12 year olds will be invited to work in small teams to create their own mini-film using claymation and found objects.

Create your own mini-film using claymation and found objects. In your pocket is an old coin or a key that sparks a story… In your mind characters lurk – waiting to be brought to life… Work in a small team to make your own unique short animation!  Click here to book.
