Yesterday the BACHS team was proud to be part of the Ronny Gibbs Carnival, celebrating an incredible 30 years of this iconic Bourke event.

The Ronny Gibbs Carnival has brought communities together for three decades through sport, culture, connection, and community spirit. We are honoured to join in the celebrations and support an event that continues to create positive opportunities for young people, families, and the wider community.

Congratulations to the organisers, volunteers, participants, and supporters who have helped make the Ronny Gibbs Carnival such a lasting success over the past 30 years. Here's to celebrating this remarkable milestone and many more years to come.

Thank you to everyone who joined BACHS for our Youth NAIDOC Event as part of NAIDOC Week 2026.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a positive experience for our young people. Events like these provide opportunities to connect, celebrate culture and strengthen community.

BACHS is proud to support spaces where our young people can come together, celebrate who they are and continue building strong connections to culture, community and each other.

As part of our NAIDOC Week celebrations, BACHS was honoured to host our Elders on a special Jandra Cruise along the Darling River.

Bringing our Elders together to share stories, laughter and time on Country was a wonderful way to celebrate culture, connection and community during NAIDOC Week 2026: 50 Years of Deadly.

Thank you to all of our Elders who joined us and helped make the afternoon so memorable. It was a privilege to celebrate alongside community and recognise the enduring strength and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
