Leavers celebrations
Overview
The Shire of Augusta-Margaret River is visited by young people from throughout the state, during the month of November, to celebrate the official Leavers Celebrations on an annual basis.
The Shire of Augusta-Margaret River work in collaboration with the local Make it Happen Group to effectively manage Leavers Celebrations to ensure that visiting young people have a safe and fun time, allowing them to celebrate in a way that has minimal impact on the local community.
The Make it Happen Group comprises representatives from the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River, Margaret River Police, Margaret River Hospital, volunteers and community members.
Planning for Leavers also involves collaboration with the South West Leavers Group and the Busselton-Dunsborough Make it Happen Group to implement the Office of Crime Prevention Leavers WA State Strategy.
Key Outcomes
- School leavers visiting the area have a safe and enjoyable stay within the shire.
- Visiting leavers cause minimal impact on the local community.
- Future Plans
- The official Leavers Celebration dates, announced by the Office of Crime Prevention, are Saturday 26 November to Monday 28 November 2011.
With no ‘official’ events planned in the Shire, accommodation providers in Prevelly and Hamelin Bay will be supported by the Red Frog Crew, Drug Arm, Seventh Day Adventist Volunteers and Augusta-Margaret River Shire to provide a range of onsite support services and social activities with the aim of promoting safety and fun.
