The first year at High School can be a testing time for not only students but the parents as well.

The Town is hosting a workshop especially for parents, caregivers and adults in the lives of tweens transitioning to high school in 2022 on Wednesday, 1 December, 6:30pm at the Boulevard Centre.

We know how important it is for parents to feel more equipped with practical tools and information needed to support their tween make their move into high school with less stress and more success. The event is presented by Claire Eaton, speaker, youth coach and author of books for high school students-Hello High School.

This event offers parents the opportunity to learn more about-managing mindsets and ways to think wisely, understanding and working with emotions, reducing day-to-day stress, anxiety and tools to increase productivity, amongst other subjects

Places are limited so register today!

The Town is proud to support local artists by showcasing their works exhibition at The Boulevard Centre. 

The current exhibition of 'Compositions' by Ian MacRae, is open for viewing from 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday in The Boulevard Centre Gallery.

Ian spends as much time thinking about the composition of a painting as the painting of it. His prime motivation is to represent accurately on the canvas what he has imagined for the piece.

Ian has developed a style that owes much to pointillism, with the difference that he likes using squares to give the impression of mosaics. The exhibition concludes on 31 January 2022.

Fix It - Don't Flick It.

The next  Repair Lab is this Satuarday 27 November, 10:30am-12:30pm at the Town's Admin Centre, 1 Bold Park Drive, Floreat.  

Repair Lab is a community initiative to help people fix their belongings and save things going to landfill.

Skilled volunteers will help you with repairs of clothing, textiles, bikes, furniture, jewellery, electronics which run on batteries (below mains power), general household items. We'll have computer triage and advice on creating an eco-friendly home. If you're unsure, bring it down and we'll see what we can do! 

Repair Lab is a free, family friendly community event for people to bring along their broken items to be fixed, with the help of our skilled volunteers.
