Celebrating 50 years
Canterbury City Community Centre has been serving the community for the last 50 years. Much has changed in 50 years but what has not changed, is our genuine commitment to the community we serve and our care.

A big thankyou to Guiseppe and his colleagues from MPM Products @applawsanz giving back to the community through volunteering!
As part of Clean Up Australia Day, Giuseppe, a Lakemba local, and his team collected over 50kg of rubbish from the town centre and surrounding residential streets. 👏🗑️
Not only is Lakemba a lot cleaner, but they also saved a stray rabbit.🐇 The rabbit was spotted during the clean-up next to the Centre, captured with some carrots and given to one of our staff members to care for while we tried to find the owners.
Good news is Guiseppe is going to join Environment@Lakemba and “Tiny” has settled in beautifully with a loving new family alongside some bunny friends. He`s now one very happy bunny! 🐰💕
Anyone interested in helping keep Lakemba clean and joining Environment@Lakemba is welcome to get involved. For more details, please contact Kate on 9750 9344.
This year’s NAIDOC Week theme, "50 Years of Deadly," celebrates five decades of strength, resilience, pride and achievement led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
It’s a time to reflect on the stories, cultures, languages, leadership and advocacy that have shaped the journey so far, while recognising that the work continues. The past 50 years remind us of what is possible when culture leads, communities are empowered, and voices are heard.
At 4Cs, we proudly stand in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. This NAIDOC Week, we celebrate the rich cultures, histories and contributions of First Nations peoples and reaffirm our commitment to listening, learning and walking together. 💛❤️🖤

This Refugee Week, we`re celebrating A Million Stories - the journeys, experiences and contributions of people from refugee backgrounds who help shape Australia every day.
Meet Kosar. Arriving in Australia as a teenager, she faced the challenge of learning a new language and adapting to a new life. Today, she`s studying business, exploring her passions for calligraphy and floristry, and dreaming of starting her own creative business.
Her story is one of resilience, belonging and embracing new opportunities.

🎓 Congratulations to all 26 students who graduated from our Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) and Early Childhood Education and Care.
Over the past nine months, students have completed coursework, assessments and practical placements, developing the skills and confidence needed to begin rewarding careers in their chosen fields.
We were delighted to celebrate this achievement at last week’s graduation ceremony, alongside proud families, friends and supporters.
CEO Esta Paschalidis-Chilas said, “It was wonderful to see the joy and pride on the faces of our graduates and their families. These qualifications represent not only hard work and determination, but also new opportunities and brighter futures.”
A special congratulations to our own team members, Linda from our Support at Home team and Lorraine from our Garden Care team, who successfully completed their studies. We wish you both a long, fulfilling and successful future.
