Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre held its free annual open day on Saturday 5 October, with a focus on community safety.

“There were lots of fun activities for all the family. Myuna Farm Mobile Ark brought their cute farm animals along for a cuddle. Hey Dee Ho got everyone moving with their interactive sing-along. Neighbourhood Watch Casey’s KC Dog kept everyone captivated with stories,” a spokesperson for the centre said.

“We had our community heroes from Vic SES volunteers, Ambulance Victoria, and the CFA Cranbourne Fire Brigade.

“Neighbourhood Watch Casey and the City of Casey held information stalls about community safety. City of Casey Sustainability and Waste educated about how to recycle responsibly and taught people how to make bunting, while Monash Health talked to the community about all the options available in a medical emergency.

“Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas came along to join in the fun and support this superb event.”

The spokesperson said they were looking forward to next year’s open day, which would have a theme around diversity and inclusion.
