☃️ Winter School Holiday Program
Enrolments are now open for the July Holiday Program! With programs for Half Highs (ages 5-7), Kick Ups (ages 8-12) and Next Step (intermediate ages 8-12), it’s a great way to keep warm and active in the winter break. 🤸
Due to popular demand, we’ve also added an Adult Specialty session in the second week! Limited spaces available, so if you’re keen, head to the Members Portal to enrol ASAP.
🤹World Juggling Day - Saturday 14th June 2025
This Saturday is World Juggling Day! Celebrate by juggling your favourite juggling balls, clubs or other props, or by learning some new tricks! Rolled up socks or oranges are great substitutes for juggling balls if you’re just starting out, otherwise you could head to our shop to browse our range of juggling equipment!
Juggle Hub is hosting a fun afternoon of juggling, snacks and board games at Kaleen Community Hall from 4:30pm, so come along to juggle with others! Beginners to experienced jugglers and friends all welcome, there’s something for everyone.

Grill’d Woden Fundraiser
We have a Local Matters jar at Grill’d Woden this month, so keep your eyes peeled and put a token in our jar when you go to grab a burger! Every month, each Grill’d restaurant splits $500 between three groups doing amazing work in the community —and that’s where YOUR vote counts. It’s only for this month, and if we have the most tokens in our jar at the end of the month we get the biggest share of the $500 donation!
Winter Showcase, Sunday 29th June
Winter Showcase is on Sunday, 29th June in our Chifley space, and the theme is Snowflakes! ❄️

🎂 Warehouse Circus - Celebrating 35 Years
Each week, we will be sharing a small piece of Warehouse Circus history to celebrate our 35th birthday!
This week we’re looking back at 2007!
Warehouse stages the double bill of Suits/Cirquarella, with shows created by the Advanced Troupe AND the Intermediate Troupe, performed at the Belconnen Community Theatre.
Rivett Primary School is one of the many schools that closed, seeing Warehouse Circus homeless again!
Kylie O’Keeffe with assistance from the board, lobbies hard for a new space…
Cartoonist Liz Argall was interim manager. She keeps an eye on things and a hand on a pen. We get a desk covered in cartoon sketches, and a new manager, Colin Grant.
El starts The Circus Space – a space in Canberra where cross-arts and sports disciplines meet. Warehousers and Ex-Warehousers make connections to gymnasts, cheerleaders, sports acrobats, dancers, and more, fostering new shows, events and activities. Eventually Warehouse has space to offer emerging artists time in our Chifley space, but this vibrant collective did a lot!
