Penrith NAIDOC Event 2025

On Friday, 11th July 2025 the Penrith Children’s Family Centre participated in the annual NAIDOC Day Event at Jamison Park run by Penrith City Council.

Each year, this event gets bigger and better, as well as our participation and our stall.

The centre closes as it is all hands on deck to deliver the activities and engagement with the community and have a fun day overall.

This year, we had lots of different activities going including:

  • T Shirt Painting

  • Face Painting

  • Temporary Tattoo Station

  • Boomerang Painting

  • Colouring Station

  • Fairy Floss

  • Merchandise Stand

We are yet to perfect the t-shirt drying process with most of us getting covered in shirts due to the wind blowing them off the hangers but even with getting covered in paint, a lot of fun was had by staff and the community.

A few community members even have shirts they’ve made at our stalls from past years.

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
