Confidence and Independence: Understanding safety practices boosts confidence and empowers participants to take responsibility for their personal and workplace safety.
Routine and Structure: Weekly sessions provide consistency, helping participants build responsibility and time management skills.
Afternoon Activity
In the afternoon on Fridays, participants will enjoy a BBQ and a nature walk. This relaxed and engaging setting encourages social interaction, fosters community connections, and promotes physical wellbeing through outdoor exploration.
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.
