Creating Connections in 2020NEIGHBOUR DAY 2020 – SUNDAY 29 MARCH

Neighbour Day is Australia’s annual celebration of community, encouraging people to connect with those who live in their neighbourhood.

Neighbour Day 2020 is focusing on the importance of belonging – to encourage people to think about how they can create positive and meaningful social connections with others.

During Term One, we will promote simple and easy ways to socially connect with others as well as share ideas and stories of how to create new friendships, groups and a sense of community.

Let 2020 be your year to connect with others in your neighbourhood! #CreateConnections #ND2020
