April 13, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

When South Burnett CTC threw a free school holidays party for local families, the not-for-profit organisation probably didn’t expect up to 300 people to turn up.<\/p>\n

The Family Fun Day was held at the Kingaroy Youth Park\u00a0\u00a0on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

CTC staff began preparing the area at 7:00am so they’d be ready for the 11:00am start but to their surprise, parents and children started to arrive much earlier.<\/p>\n

A hire bus also came down from Murgon carrying 60 people.<\/p>\n

There were a string of activities for the children to explore, including painting, craftwork, ball games, family photos, temporary tattoos and facepainting.<\/p>\n

There was also a sausage sizzle, courtesy of Kingaroy Lions Club, and cold drinks.<\/p>\n

Stalls were manned by CTC employees as well as staff members from other agencies, including South Burnett Centacare.<\/p>\n

All CTC services – including Partners In Foster Care, Family and Child Connect, Intensive Family Support – were involved in organising the day.<\/p>\n

Although CTC’s social welfare services played a big role, the activities were not just aimed just at CTC clients.<\/p>\n

“It was just a free event for the whole community,” Lee-Anne Reinbott from\u00a0Family and Child Connect said.<\/p>\n

“It was also designed to link people into the services available in the community, and build social pathways with police, child safety, daycare and all the resources for families.”<\/p>\n
