Youth Month

Bundaberg Region celebrates with youth activities & events across the month of April

National Youth Week is the largest celebration of young people in Australia with events and activities happening all over the country. Thousands of young people aged 12-25 years get involved each year in organising and celebrating national Youth Week. It is a time of opportunities for young people to share ideas, showcase their talent, have their voices heard and HAVE FUN!

Here in the Bundaberg Region we don't think a week is long enough!!! We celebrate with a range of Youth Activities/Events for the entire month of APRIL

RE:ACT Youth Month 2018

Childers Colour Chaos

Childers Colour Chaos was a great  success for its 2nd year. Held on Wednesday 11 April the event saw a splash of colour powder in the afternoon followed by the DJ and games in the early evening . With the support again of Gin Gin Community Bank Branch - Bendigo Bank, it was sure a must do community event for 2018. We thank all our volunteers and committee member for making this event such a  great success again.

Due to low ticket sales our planned events in both Gin Gin and Childers were cancelled.

Childers Colour Chaos and Colour Me Happy Gin Gin

If not for the sponsorship support from: Country to Coast Homes and Inscribe It , Got Active Fitness, Gin Gin Community Bank: Bendigo Bank,  and Hawkey Electrical the dedicated work of the of the Childers and Gin Gin Committee's the events would not have been such a great success.
