Welcome back to Robbo
First, I want to start by introducing myself, my name's
Sam, and I have recently taken over as Coordinator of
the Robertson Barracks Family Group. I have been a part
of the RBFG community for just over 12 months now and
am really enjoying my new role as Coordinator.
After an amazing three-week dry season break, the centre
got straight back into its usual activities. Our attendees have
been loving workouts at Fit for Robbo, they have been making
the most of what is left of this beautiful dry season weather
with lots of outdoor workouts. We have had our coffee and
cake mornings on a Monday, and playgroup on Fridays that is
always growing. We have been lucky enough to meet lots of
new families!

Over twelve weeks
RBFG had an awesome
team competing in the
‘2020 Defence Virtual
Race Around Australia’.
The results are in,
AND with a whopping
14,431kms under their
belt, Team Robbo came
in 3rd place! Thank you
to all 36 members for
participating and thank
you to the Cairns Defence Community Support Group for
organising such a great event.
During Term 3, the centre has been lucky enough to have
Georgie, our very own dance teacher, begin a class for our 0–5s.
The children have enjoyed lots of dance and movement, music,
games and lots of activities. Georgie has done an amazing job
implementing skills such as balance, coordination, role play,
and imagination into the activities.
We have also hosted Bee’s Wax Wraps sessions, which have
been thoroughly enjoyed. The wraps all looked great and we
look forward to running another session soon.
RBFG also held a Paint ‘n’ Sip night, going with a
Darwin theme. The paintings looked absolutely amazing!
It was a great night to catch up with friends, enjoy drinks and
nibbles, and work on beautiful art taught by Paint and Create
Darwin. The painting night was very popular and we hope to
run another such night towards the end of the year.
With the end of the year fast approaching we are still busy
planning lots of activities. There will be lots of events coming up
and I hope we can continue seeing all of our amazing families! If
you are new to Darwin, we hope you are settling in well; you’re
always welcome at RBFG.
