Afternoon Activity
In the afternoon on Mondays, we go to Flip Out! which provides an exhilarating way to improve physical fitness, coordination, and social interaction through fun and engaging trampoline activities. We return to Johnny’s Place to focus on independent living skills and practical DIY skills.
We do our best to minimise any changes to impact but plans may be forced to change due to external staffing, school holiday programming, and adverse weather. For those not wanting to join in an external activity, supports can be arranged within Johnny’s Place however these may impact the supervision ratio, and in turn, the cost.
