A huge thank you to our generous partners Lumos Bakery and Bakers Delight Mckinnon Village Bakery for helping make our Biggest Morning Tea such a special event. We are incredibly grateful for your support and contribution to our community.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, attended and supported this important cause. ☕💛

Join us tomorrow for a special edition of Chatty Cafe! ☕✨

This week, we’ll be welcoming a guest speaker with a background in STEM to lead an engaging presentation and discussion on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the ways it is becoming part of our everyday lives.

Come along for a coffee, conversation and a chance to learn something new in a welcoming and relaxed environment 💛

We’d love to see you there!

Last week we welcomed Julio Carrieri from Capital Group for a valuable Financial Literacy session focused on superannuation and tax. 💰📚

Students had the opportunity to learn more about understanding super, navigating tax obligations and building confidence around important financial decisions for the future.

Thank you to Julio for sharing his knowledge and helping make financial information more accessible for our community. We’re grateful to continue providing practical learning opportunities that support our students both inside and outside the classroom. 💚

☕💛 What a wonderful morning of tea, laughter and community at GEALC’s Biggest Morning Tea.

Our community came together to enjoy great conversations, delicious treats and a range of fun activities — including a tea-themed Kahoot quiz, our “guess how many tea bags are in the jar” challenge and a teacup and saucer game that brought plenty of smiles and friendly competition.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so special. It was beautiful to see students, staff, tutors, volunteers and community members connecting and sharing the space together.

Most importantly, all proceeds from the event will be donated to the Cancer Council to help support cancer research, prevention and support services.

Some more wonderful moments from our Harmony Day celebrations at GEALC 🌏✨

From our volunteer recognition ceremony to Ukrainian songs, traditional Chinese performances, Bollywood Dance, Cuban Salsa and energetic African drumming, the day was filled with culture, joy and community connection 💛

A special thank you to all of our incredible performers and community members who helped make the celebration so vibrant and memorable.

Today marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week — a time to reflect on our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to consider how we can all contribute to reconciliation in Australia.

This year’s theme, Bridging Now to Next, encourages us to continue building respectful relationships, listening to First Nations voices and working together towards a more connected future.

At GEALC, we are proud to celebrate diversity, inclusion and community, and we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we learn and gather.

We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Today at GEALC, we pause to observe National Sorry Day. We acknowledge the deep pain caused by the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families — a history whose impact continues to be felt today.

We honour the strength and resilience of Stolen Generations survivors, their families, and their communities. At GEALC, we believe that learning and healing go hand in hand — and that understanding our shared history is an important part of building a more welcoming, respectful, and inclusive future together.
