🌼Learning, Creativity and Celebration at West GSS🌞

Our West GSS Brimbank and Maribyrnong groups enjoyed a wonderful week. We were pleased to welcome Bolton Clarke, who delivered an informative and engaging session about diabetes. Participants learned about the different types of diabetes, prevention strategies, treatment options, and the importance of recognising early warning signs. Thank you, Bolton Clarke. As part of our regular GSS program, members also enjoyed hands-on activities, providing opportunities for creativity, social connection, and fun. The week was made even more special as we celebrated our May birthdays together with laughter, friendship, and good company. As always, everyone enjoyed delicious homemade meals and sweet treats prepared with care.


🌼Učenje, kreativnost i slavlje u grupama u zapadnom dijelu🌞

Naše grupe iz Brimbanka i Maribyrnonga imale su prekrasan tjedan. Bilo nam je zadovoljstvo ugostiti Bolton Clarke, koji je održao informativno i zanimljivo predavanje o dijabetesu. Sudionici su naučili o različitim vrstama dijabetesa, strategijama prevencije, mogućnostima liječenja te važnosti prepoznavanja ranih znakova upozorenja. Kao dio našeg redovitog GSS programa, članovi su također uživali u praktičnim aktivnostima koje su pružile prilike za kreativnost, društveno povezivanje i zabavu. Tjedan je bio još posebniji jer smo zajedno proslavili svibanjske rođendane uz smijeh, prijateljstvo i ugodno društvo. Kao i uvijek, svi su uživali u ukusnim domaćim jelima i slatkim poslasticama pripremljenima s pažnjom.

Today, the North Group Social Support attended the Bundoora Homestead Art Centre. The gallery exhibits are refreshed every three months, and it was wonderful to explore the current displays on offer. Following the visit, the group enjoyed a relaxed and pleasant lunch together.

Danas je grupa društvene potpore na sjeveru posjetila Umjetnički centar Bundoora Homestead. Izložbe u galeriji obnavljaju se svaka tri mjeseca te je bilo prekrasno razgledati trenutačne postave koje su u ponudi. Nakon posjeta, grupa je zajedno uživala u opuštenom i ugodnom ručku.

Today, Group Social Support Greater Dandenong visited the Offbeat Sari exhibition at Bunjil Place. 🥻
The exhibition, which has travelled from the Design Museum in London, showcases more than 50 contemporary saris created by some of India’s most renowned designers and craftspeople. Through innovative designs and materials, the exhibition explores how the traditional sari continues to evolve while celebrating culture, identity and self-expression.
The group enjoyed viewing the vibrant collection and learning about the stories, creativity and craftsmanship behind these unique garments. Following the exhibition, everyone made their way to Fountain Gate Hotel, where they enjoyed lunch and spent time socialising together, sharing conversations and reflecting on the day’s experience.

Danas je Grupa društvene potpore Greater Dandenong posjetila izložbu Offbeat Sari u Bunjil Placeu. 🥻
Izložba, koja je stigla iz Design Museuma u Londonu, predstavlja više od 50 suvremenih sarija koje su izradili neki od najpoznatijih indijskih dizajnera i obrtnika. Kroz inovativne dizajne i materijale, izložba prikazuje kako se tradicionalni sari i dalje razvija, istovremeno slaveći kulturu, identitet i osobno izražavanje.
Grupa je uživala razgledavajući izložbu te upoznajući priče, kreativnost i umijeće izrade koje stoji iza ovih jedinstvenih odjevnih predmeta. Nakon posjeta izložbi, svi su se uputili u Fountain Gate Hotel, gdje su uz ručak proveli ugodno vrijeme družeći se i razgovarajući o doživljajima s izleta.
