Today we celebrate the wonderful Tamashya!
Over her time with SMF, it has been incredible to watch Mashya flourish in her role and step into new opportunities with confidence. Most recently, she has taken on a lead role for SMF in our Old Ways New Ways female program, where her ability to connect with participants and guide activities has made a real impact.
Mashya is not only a strong and capable leader, but also a truly positive role model for youth, particularly young women. She brings kindness, empathy, and strength to everything she does, qualities that make her both respected by her peers and deeply valued by the young people she works with.
Her down-to-earth approach and genuine care for others make her a pleasure to work alongside, and we couldn’t be more excited to see how she continues to grow, develop, and inspire in the years ahead.
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Mashya, thank you for everything you bring to the SMF team!

Only 1 week to go! ⏱️🏆
Anticipation is building for the 2025 Jambinu Carnival, taking place on 18-19 September at GBSC Sports Park.
Looking back at last year’s photos it’s clear what makes this carnival so special: The energy on the field, the support from the sidelines, and the way community comes together to celebrate.
This year promises to be just as memorable. Registrations are still open via the QR code on the flyer, so there’s still time to get involved.
Players, coaches, umpires, families, and community members are all warmly invited to attend, support, and celebrate this exciting event.
We look forward to seeing you at Jambinu 2025!

Busselton Senior High School Rising Leaders Event
Our students chose to host a NAIDOC Week basketball carnival and invited Indigenous students from 5 other schools in the Southwest to participate.
Students led 35 basketball games, cultural activities such as Borna Jokee (a traditional game from the Southwest), as well as face painting, bracelet making, and a BBQ which they cooked and served for all 200+ attendees.
The day was a huge success, with our students demonstrating outstanding teamwork, leadership, and community spirit.

Today we celebrate Mark!
Mark has been a valued member of SMF for over six years, and in that time he’s had such a great impact.
His experience, adaptability, leadership, and charisma make him an integral part of our team. Mark has a unique ability to roll up his sleeves and get the job done, never seeking recognition, but always striving for the best outcomes.
With his great sense of humour and down-to-earth nature, Mark not only makes the workplace a better place but also serves as a positive role model for the young people he supports.
Happy Birthday, Mark!
