March 2026 at Kimbriki

Mondays to Thursdays:

Tuesdays: Avalon Boomerang Bags
November 5 2025: 
It is with great sadness that we announce that we can no longer operate out of the community centre in Avalon after 10 wonderful years, as we are finding the rent too expensive. 

We will move to The Hub at Kimbriki Resource Recovery Center in January 2026 and would still love you to come and visit us there, drop off fabric or buy a bag. We will be there on a Tuesday from 11-3pm.



ECO WORKSHOP – Beginners Composting & Worms
Composting and worm farming are great alternatives to disposing of your food waste in the rubbish bin while creating natural fertiliser for your garden. By recycling food scraps in a compost bin or worm farm you can help reduce organic waste disposed in landfill, in turn reducing the production of leachate and greenhouse gases from landfills. Compost and worm ‘castings’ are both ideal natural fertiliser for your garden.

*Northern Beaches Residents attending the entire Composting & Worms workshop: Northern Beaches Council would like to support its residents in recycling food waste at home by giving you a voucher towards buying a worm farm or compost bin. Northern Beaches Council will issue a $90 voucher to Northern Beaches residents who attend a Kimbriki Composting and Worms workshop and who have not had a free worm farm, compost bin or voucher from Council in the past. One voucher per household (not per person) is issued irrespective of number of workshops attended. The vouchers are issued directly from Council after you have attended the workshop. Please allow up to 3-4 weeks for the voucher to be issued and posted to your residential address. Voucher can be used at New Leaf Nursery in Ingleside or at the Kimbriki Eco House & Garden Eco shop.

Polystyrene Drop Off Collection Day
Venue: The HUB, Kimbriki (1 Kimbriki Road, Ingleside 2101)
Halfway down the hill on the left-hand side
Northern Beaches Council are encouraging residents to bring their rigid pieces of 100% clean, white and dry expanded polystyrene (EPS) used for packaging of appliances and electronics to Kimbriki Resource Recovery Centre for recycling on our collection day for free.

The polystyrene must not be contaminated with dirt, soil, tape, concrete, food, labels, plastic cardboard, ink printing and no bean bag beads to ensure the product can be recycled.
If you can bend the polystyrene and it snaps then it is EPS.

Waste & Sustainability in Early Childhood Centres
The day has been developed in line with the Early Years Learning Frameworks with particular focus on the new sustainability principle incorporated into the frameworks.


Whether you have been engaged with sustainability at your centre for some time or are just beginning to engage in response to the revised frameworks, there will be plenty on offer for all to engage further and learn from each other. We advocate for a shared and collaborative approach in this professional development day, which will allow educators to build confidence in integrating sustainability into their centre’s everyday activities and programs; learn from case studies from other centres; hear from guest speakers who can support your programs in biodiversity and water saving gardening; provide guidance on setting up effective systems at your centre to minimise and manage waste and access to a whole host of resources to take back to your centre.

Includes:
  • 5 hours of educator elected professional development, meeting standards appropriate to your context and needs and contributes to your ongoing professional learning
  • Morning tea and light lunch
  • Goodie bag
  • Lucky door prizes
  • Mountains of opportunity for collaboration and support 😊

Wyvern Music Forestville: Alexander Yau – Piano Recital

“Hats off, gentlemen, a genius”
Wyvern Music Forestville proudly presents acclaimed pianist Alexander Yau in a recital celebrating the genius of three of history’s greatest composers: Mozart, Schumann, and Chopin.

The program begins with Mozart’s Sonata in F major, K. 533, a work of crystalline elegance, moving from the spirited Allegro through the lyrical Andante to the buoyant Rondo finale.

Schumann’s Humoreske, Op. 20 follows, a kaleidoscope of moods and emotions, shifting between tenderness, exuberance, and introspection across six contrasting movements. After the interval, Yau turns to Chopin’s majestic Sonata No. 3 in B minor, Op. 58, a pinnacle of Romantic piano literature. From the commanding Allegro Maestoso to the dazzling finale Presto ma non tanto – Agitato, the sonata embodies both poetic depth and virtuosic brilliance.

Alexander Yau, an eminent young Australian pianist, has developed himself as a complete musician, incorporating his many musical talents as a chamber musician, conductor and composer. He is currently Associate Lecturer in Collaborative Piano at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and casual Principal Pianist at the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. 

This recital offers audiences the chance to experience the inspiration of three great musical masters, brought vividly to life by Alexander Yau.

When: Sunday, 8th March 2026 at 3:00pm
Where: Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church, 9 Currie Rd, Forestville
Tickets: Full:$40, Concession:$30, Students:$25, Children under 16 Free

Surfing Mums & Dads

Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children. 

The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am. 

Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.

We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
