PCYC Zillmere, located at 340 Zillmere Road (corner of Church Road), is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for the community. Under the leadership of Sergeant Megan Dwyer (Youth Club Programs Manager) and Henrietta Melbourne (Club Manager), the club continues to offer diverse programs and activities for all ages.
PCYC Zillmere continues to deliver a wide range of programs and activities for the community and we have some exciting plans for April.
Youth Week
Queensland Youth Week is an annual celebration that shines a spotlight on the talents, achievements and contributions of young people to their communities, our state and beyond.
To celebrate Youth Week, PCYC Zillmere and PCYC Sandgate are combining to host a FREE colour Xplosion Fun Run in the first week of the school holidays. Promising to be a blast of colour and fun, join us on Thursday, 10 April at PCYC Zillmere.
Welcome and registration is at 3.30pm, with the main event kicking off at 4pm. Participants will be dusted in bright, coloured powder as they pass the colour-throwing stations along the track.
For more information, please contact club staff. Remember to BYO white t-shirt, hat and sunglasses – and get ready to run through the rainbow! We hope to see you there!
Get Set For Work
PCYC Zillmere is currently taking enrolments for the next round of Get Set For Work (GAFW). GSFW is a 10-week program that’s part of the Queensland Government’s Skilling Queenslanders for Work (SQW) initiative.
The program aims to provide disengaged young people aged 15-19 years with nationally recognised training, combined with integrated learning support measures and foundation skills that will enable them to successfully transition to employment and/or further education and training.
This SQW project is funded by the Queensland Government, which means there is no cost to the participant.
New Fitness Classes
We are excited to announce that Activ8 Group training is now available at PCYC Zillmere. Take the guesswork out of training with Activ8 Group Training, which is included with a PCYC gym membership!
