🌱 Before ➡️ After

When Marlin’s in the zone, there’s no stopping him! These photos show just how productive he is when supported to stay on task and it’s all thanks to Biala’s Employment Support program.

Through partnerships with inclusive local businesses like Ward’s Landscape Supplies, participants like Marlin are gaining real-world experience, building confidence, and proving what’s possible when everyone gets a fair go 💪🏼

We’re proud of Marlin’s efforts and grateful to the team at Ward’s for fostering a workplace where all abilities are welcomed and valued.

Here’s to more opportunities, more inclusion, and more stories like this one. 💙

Mason, Lisa, Ben and June had a wonderful night out at Ballina Players, enjoying the Anne of Green Gables theatre production 🎭💙

The story of Anne reminded us how kindness, imagination and connection can change lives for the better; something our social group experience through shared moments like this.

From laughter to storytelling and being part of the local arts community, it was a night thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Through Biala’s Employment Support program, local businesses are discovering the real benefits of welcoming people of all abilities into their teams.

From fresh perspectives and new energy, to strengthened workplace culture and community connection, inclusive workplaces thrive when they reflect the diversity of the people around them.

With the right supports in place, participants are empowered to contribute in meaningful ways, while employers gain committed, capable team members who take pride in their work.

If you're a business that believes in equal opportunity, we’d love to talk about becoming a safe employer just like Ward’s Landscape Supplies, who recently partnered with us to support Marlin’s journey 👏

What looks like a simple weekend outing is actually something much bigger.

Supports like these give people the chance to participate, make choices, meet others and experience their community in meaningful ways.

Inclusion doesn’t happen by accident it happens when people are supported to live life on their terms. And that’s exactly what we’re here for. 💙

Festive joy was in full swing for our Biala Activity Space group as they visited Santa at Ballina Fair 🎄✨

For our participants, moments like these are about connection, confidence and being part of the community in a way that feels fun and meaningful.

We loved seeing all the smiles and Christmas spirit. 💙

A heartfelt thank you to the Country Women's Association (CWA) of NSW Ballina, who welcomed us with a beautiful morning tea and a generous donation for Biala School.

The CWA work tirelessly all year to give back to the community, and their support means so much to our students, families and staff.

Acts of kindness like this help our school continue to grow, create and deliver meaningful experiences for our young people. 💙

Meet Seth and his newest creation Scott the Scarecrow, proudly “dressed to impress” at the Ballina Community Gardens 🌻🛠️

As part of his vocational skill development, Seth has been working with the team at the Ballina Community Men’s Shed to design and build Scott from scratch learning to use hand and power tools, problem-solve, follow safety procedures, and work alongside others in a real workplace setting.

This project gave Seth so much more than practical skills. It built confidence, independence, and that incredible feeling of “I made this.”

We couldn’t be prouder and neither could Scott 😊💙
