Friday – Building Confidence Through Participation
Fridays focus on strengthening social confidence, communication and group participation in a positive and engaging environment. The day supports the development of social and emotional capacity through structured group activities and movement-based interaction.
Morning Focus
Participants take part in targeted Social Skills sessions, exploring how to initiate and maintain conversations, interpret social cues, and navigate everyday interactions. These sessions provide practical tools to build communication and confidence in peer settings.
Afternoon Focus
The afternoon includes inclusive group activities such as Just Dance and team-based trivia. These sessions are designed to encourage self-expression, cooperative play and resilience in a supportive setting that celebrates each participant’s contribution.
