What's happening

World Mental Health Day is this Saturday. Sometimes, looking after your wellbeing starts with giving yourself a little room to reset. A walk beside the wetlands, a few quiet minutes in the sunshine, putting your phone away for a while, or simply slowing down after a busy week. There’s no single way to take care of your mental health.

Term 4 is officially underway. Here’s how to get back into the swing of things for your morning routine: Pack the school bags and fill the drink bottles the night before. Get uniforms out early, keep breakfast simple and nominate someone to find the missing hat. (There’s always a missing hat) A big welcome back to students, families and staff at Karwan Primary School, Brinbeal Secondary College and schools across Tarneit. Have an amazing last term of 2026!

The school holidays are almost over! How many times have you heard “what are we doing today” from the kids? Keep it local. Pack the bikes for a lap around the wetlands and shared paths, try the water play at Congo Drive Park if the weather heats up, or let the kids choose.

A neighbourhood can be a collection of streets and houses. A home is something you feel. It’s recognising familiar faces on your morning walk. The route you take without even thinking about it. Kids spotting their friends at the park. A quick hello to a neighbour turning into a proper chat. Small moments that over time create a sense of belonging. For the families already calling The Grove home, we’d love to know: what was the moment The Grove started to feel like home for you?
