Popular Group Activities

Act-Belong-Commit
GWHS is part of the Act-Belong-Commit campaign to promote people being mentally healthy. Positive steps that we can all do for health include:
Act: keep mentally, physically and socially active - take a walk, say g’day, read a book, do a crossword, dance, play cards, stop for a chat ...
Belong: joining in community activities, join a book club, take up a cooking class, be more involved in groups you are already a member of, go along to community events …
Commit: take up a cause, help a neighbour, learn something new, set yourself a challenge, help out at the school or meals on wheels …

More information on Act-Belong-Commit can be found at the website www.actbelongcommit.org.au

GWHS programs that incorporate the Act-Belong-Commit message include:

Creating New Physical Activity Options for Women – a program of enjoyable, active courses including Belly Dancing and Tai Chi to help you get fit and have fun!

The Wednesday Women’s Walk and Talk, a casual morning group that meets each Wednesday morning in the foyer of the Gosnells Community Lotteries House (opposite the Gosnells Post Office) for a walk through Pioneer Park before returning for a coffee and a chat.
