COMING - Gamilaraay Language Summer School
 We are delighted to announce that there will be a Gamilaraay Language Summer School in Gunnedah, from January 11 - 22 next year. These workshops have been made possible with a grant from the NSW Dept of Aboriginal Affairs, and are being organised by Red Chief Local Aboriginal Lands Council, in partnership with Community College, Gunnedah. Teachers at the Summer School will include John Giacon and Suellyn Tighe. Details of the classes are yet to be finalised, but we expect that there will be an introductory language workshop in Week 1 open to all, and an advanced workshop for those who have done some language work previously, or who wish to build on the lessons from the first week. We expect to offer these at no cost to participants, but associated expenses such as travel, accommodation and meals will be the responsibility of individual students. Please register your interest early, and we will keep you informed as dates, times, structure and content of the workshops are confirmed. Contact Ross Barnard at Gunnedah Community College - see contact details on this page.

MONDAY NIGHT MYSTERY MOVIE CLUB
 This term, we’re looking at a selection of classic suspense thrillers from the Golden Years of Film Noir, 1945 – 1956.

For the first time, we will be screening at the Community College, 39 Chandos St, starting at 6pm, and finishing around 8pm each night.
Cost: $25 membership for all 8 programs, or $5 per screening, including wine and nibbles.
