Additional activities

We have a number of additional activities organised by the Support Unit.

Swim school

In Term 3 our junior students attended swim school at Blacktown leisure centre every Wednesday. Students were divided into various groups with qualified swim instructors, learning new skills and/or developing their strokes, depending on their swimming ability.

Work experience

During Terms 2 & 3 most of our senior students attended work experience, either as a group at The secret garden, or at an individual work place eg. café, metal workshop, office etc.

Congratulations to all Stage 5 students who completed work experience during 2018. Students developed communication and practical skills in a number of different work placements, and experienced increased self-confidence regarding independent travel. Some of our students gained additional days of work experience at their placement.

Sensory and occupational therapy room

The support unit have been fortunate to acquire a new demountable, in view of creating a sensory/OT room for our students to assist their physical and emotional wellbeing.

All our students have had the opportunity to utilise this room and are loving it.
