Children from Charlton College and St Joseph's Primary School were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to get up close to one of Australia's top sporting prizes; The 2026 Melbourne Cup.  The Charlton Neighbourhood House was happy to be involved in arranging funding through the Bendigo Bank for the assembly of wooden pogo sticks and replica cups by the Men's Shed. Some amazing decorated horses were on show that were done by the children from glitter, polka dots, rainbow colours and woollen manes.
It will possibly be a memory for the rest of their lives.

​St Josephs Primary School in Charlton was presented with a wonderful day of puppetry recently by the Little Wings Puppet Group.
‘A Little Bit of Blue’ is an interactive environmental detective story, told with puppetry. As well as unravelling a mystery, it involves learning about the unique habits of an extraordinary Australian animal, the Satin Bowerbird, and its fascination with the colour blue. The children enjoyed some fun slapstick, with some interesting facts thrown in. 
With financial support proudly from the Charlton Neighbourhood House, Mallee Creatives and Charlton Arts, and close cooperation with Regional Art Victoria, this was a wonderful experience enjoyed by all.

The Charlton Neighbourhood House was pleased to be involved with a recent day outing to beautiful Castlemaine by a number of residents. With the destination the historic Old Mill, lunch was enjoyed at several of the venues available, followed by a browse through the vintage bazzar and exploration of the many other shops. To finish the day off, an unscheduled stop at the Harcourt miniature railway was ideal.
