Join the celebrations on Friday 21 August, with free coffee and hot chocolate, community spirit and the chance to take part in Highett Votes, with a $2,500 community donation up for grabs.

Homelessness Week 2026 | 3–9 August
Did you know? In Victoria, many young people experiencing homelessness aren’t sleeping rough—they’re couch surfing, staying in temporary accommodation, or living in unsafe or unstable housing.
Homelessness can disrupt education, employment, health, and wellbeing, making it harder for young people to build the future they deserve.
This Homelessness Week, you can make a difference by:
• Learning more about the realities of youth homelessness.
• Supporting local organisations that provide housing and support services.
• Donating what you can or volunteering your time.
• Helping create welcoming, inclusive communities where every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

STUDENT SUCCESS STORY | WORK EXPERIENCE
Work experience is about more than gaining practical skills—it’s about building confidence, exploring career pathways, and feeling part of a team.
We’re delighted to hear about another student’s positive experience. This time at Cheltenham Community Centre, where they were welcomed, supported, as well as given the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of meaningful activities.

A big thank you to the team at the centre for providing such a valuable and supportive work experience opportunity.
