About ArrabriMANAGER’S MESSAGEArrabri Community House is re-opening our doors on 6 July 2020!

I would like to thank our amazing community who have supported Arrabri through the restrictions imposed. We have missed seeing all your faces: the House just isn’t the same without our community! For those that challenged themselves and joined our zoom classes, we thank you for coming on the journey with us as we found new ways of doing things. It has been a steep learning curve for all of us.

It has been wonderful to see our children in childcare throughout this period and we thank families for complying with all the rules we had in place to keep everyone safe and healthy.

All our regular programs are back and for the health and safety of all staff, tutors and participants we have put in place protocols and we ask everyone to take responsibility for following these. Full details will be provided upon your return to our house and available on our website.

I also take this opportunity to advise that our Program Officer, Kate resigned from Arrabri and I would like to thank her for all her hard work and dedication throughout her time with us. Kate will be missed by all.

Remember to keep washing your hands and be aware of social distancing.

We look forward to welcoming you back at Arrabri Community House again soon.

Sharon Cosgriff | Manager
