Welcome to 2010-A Year of Quality Excellence Service for Darumbal Community Youth Service Inc.
Its been interesting to watch all of the discussion about what to call this decade. If the last one was the Noughties what might this one be? Some say tweenies; twenties; whatever it is called lets hope its filled with heaps of enjoyment and that we all take the time to remember what really matters.
Here at Darumbal Community Youth Service we are ready for a full-on year. The motto for us this year is “Quality Excellence Service”. Our aim is to be a service that offers excellence and quality in all that we do. We will not take on the additional workload that we have done in years gone by but what we do will be given our full 100% and the outcomes that we deliver will be 100% in response to the needs of clients, stakeholders and our values and vision.
We will be calling upon our supporters, members, partners and clients to help us to deliver on our Quality Excellence Service motto.
Your feedback and comments are valued and appreciated and we look forward to hearing from you.

Parkour and Freerunning Australia
parkour - wallrun
Parkour (and Freerunning). It’s an amazing method of movement. Practitioners live all over the world. You’ve probably seen it on TV or in movies. To explain a little more here’s a chunk of info from the Parkour and Freerunning Australia website:
…..What is Parkour?
Parkour is the most efficient way to travel from point A to B. In parkour, every motion must be as close to 100% efficient as possible in taking you from your start point to your destination point. Therefore vaults, drops, jumps, rolls, wall climbing, and catgrabs are part of parkour, but spins, flips, and direction reversals are usually not. “Traceurs” (the French name for one who practises Parkour) utilize obstacles and the spaces between them to create a forward flow, taking physical objects meant to restrict motion and using them to enhance it instead……..[more]
