Temporary Youth Centre Closure
Please be advised that the Youth Centre will be temporarily
closed for Youth Nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays until
further notice. The reasoning for this closure is due to a
number of “no show” evenings where the Youth Centre was
opened, but as no one showed up by 4PM on those days, the
Youth Centre was then locked up. Also, recently there was
one parent who did show up with their own children, and a
number of other children showed up after and had no
Adult/Parents with them to help supervise which makes it
very unfair to those Parents who do show up to supervise
their own children.
The Youth Centre/Youth Night will be re-opened after a meeting is set for the Parents and Youth.
