📚✨ Learning in Action – Cert III Individual Support ✨📚

Our Cert III course isn’t all about sitting in a classroom and reading theory.

We make learning hands-on, practical, and fun!

Here’s a sneak peek at what our students have been up to so far:
- A trust walk on our “getting to know you” day 👣
- Practicing personal care skills (shaving without popping the balloon!)
- One of the best days yet – learning all about donning and doffing PPE! 😷 this also included using hoists, lifts, slidesheets and bed bathing.

We’re so proud of our students for diving right in and bringing great energy to every activity.

Because learning should be more than books!
It should be about building confidence, connection, and real-world skills. 🌟

Contact us to be apart of our next intake which starts on 7th October.

Beautiful Morning for our Horticulture Team this morning! 🌿

Here is what our team had to say about it..........

'This makes working before the sun is awake worth it!
Our crew has been powering through the cold mornings to make a difference and give this school a huge makeover! We were all definitely stunned at the sunrise this morning.'

You’ll be seeing a lot more of these two as they continue attending events and building community connections across the Redlands!

It was a busy day for our Horticulture team yesterday! 🌿
After all the recent rain and sunshine, one of our Lifestyle Hubs was in dire need of a little TLC.
Here’s Harry and the team still smiling after a big day — plus a few great after shots to show their hard work!
