On Saturday 24th October, our brand-new Aspire Harpley Estate centre welcomed the community to their Open Day! The day was filled with energy, laughter, and a true sense of community! Families came together for a wonderful morning of activities, games, food, cultural dancing and great conversations. Guests had the chance to also tour our brand-new Aspire Harpley Estate centre, which is officially open to the community!
Thanks to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so memorable. If you missed out on the event, below is a recap of some of the best moments!
The Aspire Harpley Estate Open Day was full of activity and excitement! The day started with a very special Traditional Ceremony. Families then got to learn and watch cultural dancing, watch a special music performance, meet some awesome wildlife animals up close. Kids were transformed with vibrant face painting, followed by meeting Special Guest characters Skye and Chase from Paw Patrol. Learn more about some of the fun activities.
Sapphire Dance Studio brought the energy and excitement to the Harpely event! They wowed the crowd with an incredible dance performance, then inviting everyone to join in and learn some moves during a fun and engaging dance workshop. It was a fantastic opportunity for everyone to get involved, try something new and share in the joy of cultural dancing. Thank you to Sapphire Dance Studio for sharing their talent, passion and love of dance, creating a memorable experience for everyone who attended! The entertainment didn't stop there. A talented singer took to the stage, performing a collection of classic hits that had everyone enjoying the music and singing along. It was a wonderful way to keep the atmosphere lively and bring everyone together through the timeless joy of music!
Children had so much fun at the facepainting station. They were transformed into magical creatures, superheroes, and adorable animals. The artist brought her incredible skills and created stunning designs that captured imaginations. The creativity was endless, and the smiles were unforgettable!
We were thrilled to welcome Aussie Wildlife Displays, who brought along an incredible range of reptiles and native animals. Children and families had the chance to meet fascinating creatures up close - including snakes, lizards, and even a wombat! The team provided safe, interactive encounters that encouraged curiosity, confidence, and a deeper appreciation for Australia’s amazing wildlife.
As well as the fun activities, there was also some delicious food made by Harpley's centre chef, that filled the tummies of families! It was great to see everyone enjoy a taste of our Aspire menu, and what the children enjoy on weekly basis. This was definitely a yummy and refreshing treat. Check out some of the photos of the fun below!
Our Open Day was made even more exciting with special visits from Paw Patrol’s Chase and Skye! The much-loved pups brought plenty of smiles, excitement and fun for our little visitors, giving families the chance to meet their favourite characters and capture some memorable moments. It was wonderful to see so many happy faces as Chase and Skye joined in the celebrations and helped make the day extra special!
