Routine and Structure: Weekly sessions establish a consistent routine, fostering responsibility and time management skills.
Afternoon Activity
In the afternoon on Tuesdays, we walk to Hybrid Gym for a group fitness session with Personal Trainer Clint. These dynamic sessions focus on improving physical fitness, strength, and coordination in a supportive group environment. After the fitness session, we return to Johnny’s Place to further explore health and wellbeing topics and engage in creative activities that encourage self-expression and relaxation.
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 on either activity, supports can be arranged within Johnny’s Place; however, these may impact the supervision ratio, and in turn, the cost.
