Welcome to Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House

Join Kate for a fun afternoon of creating portrait paintings of your pets. Using paint and other materials, all provided, we'll craft bright and colourful portraits. Kids will learn how to work from a reference photo, choose colours, and layer paint. While the portrait layers dry, there will be art games and activities to keep everyone entertained. Please bring a printed A4 picture of your pet. If you can't print one, it’s best to email the photo to QNH a week beforehand and we’ll print it out ahead of the workshop. Bring a paint shirt or something similar, and don’t forget a snack and drink bottle.

Suitable for primary school-aged children.
Date: Thursday 2 July
Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

12 Bikes Delivered to the Ruffy Community Response Hub!
Thanks to the generosity of the Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House Men's Shed, 12 refurbished bikes were delivered to the Ruffy community.

From adult bikes to children’s bikes, each one was warmly received — with plenty of smiles and even a few tears. It was a reminder of how something as simple as a bike can make a real difference.

A big thank you also to the Barwon Heads Cycling Club for the loan of their bike trailer — it made transporting the bikes so much easier and safer.

“Thank you so much for your support” was shared by everyone present.

And we’re not finished yet — it looks like a few more bikes may be heading to Ruffy soon.

Well done to our amazing Men’s Shed volunteers for your ongoing generosity and hard work supporting communities beyond Queenscliffe.

Bellarine Community Health
Bike Ed at St Leonards Primary School is ready to roll
Thanks to donations from local community groups and business, all grade 3 & 4 students at St Leonards will be able to take part in the school's Bike Ed program. Bikes, bells and handlebar grips have been donated to make sure everyone can safely have a go and develop bike and road safety skills.
A big thank you to the Mens Shed at the Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House and the team at The Pedal Shed for their generous donations.
Supporting Bike Ed is just one way our Healthy Communities Team are making it easier and safer for students to ride to school.

Some members from Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House entered their work in the Bellarine Agricultural Show this year and received a few 1sts, 2nds and honourable mentions. Well done to everyone who entered. ​

A few photos of the beautiful work created in last week’s Collage and Gelli printing class. This week we’re moving into Gelli printing, and everyone is excited to explore new techniques, textures and layered effects.
