To celebrate Youth Week, the Office for Youth is running a Design a Sticker Competition!

If you’re aged 12 to 24 and live in NSW, you can submit a sticker design that represents or explores the Youth Week theme, DREAM. DARE. DO.
This theme encourages creativity and courage, inspiring young people to dream big and take real steps to make those dreams happen.
Your sticker design can either:
• Represent one of the three words used in the theme.
• Represent all three words in the theme.
• Be a general interpretation of what this theme means to you.

Entries will be judged in 3 age categories, and winners will receive sticker sheets with all finalists’ sticker designs included and be allowed to choose from the following prizes:
• First place: iPad A16 (256 GB) OR 10 x NRMA driving lessons.
• Second place: $400 voucher for Officeworks OR 5 x NRMA driving lessons.
• Third place: $200 voucher for Officeworks.

Further details including how to enter will be available from March 2026 at www.nsw.gov.au/arts-and-culture/nsw-youth-week

Thank you TAFE Port Macquarie and GambleAware Mid and Northern NSW.💙 Had an awesome yarn over a sausage sizzle at the welcome back BBQ. We talked about mental health, harmful gambling, well being programs and the support services we all offer. Plus, we had fun games with prizes and a super cool on the spot music making activity. The best part were all the questions and engagement from young people about screens/ gambling and everything we do headspace!

Today we enjoyed a morning tea filled with donuts and donut related affirmations.🍩💕
It was a lovely reminder to staff to look after their wellbeing, and for our young people who came through the centre to enjoy a sweet treat, do some colouring, and receive an affirmation. 💚
