What a night! Our “Back to the 90s” Social held last Friday was an absolute blast — and it wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible community 💙
A huge shoutout to Karina and the amazing students at The Friends School for teaming up with us to throw such a fantastic party! From the delicious food to the festive decorations, you guys brought the magic ✨
And let’s hear it for David Ford from Van Demons Cafe de Wheels 🚐🍦 — the legend behind the ice cream van who generously donated tubs of Valhalla ice cream for dessert. The students were thrilled!
Massive thanks to all the staff and families who came along, helped set up and pack down, and supported students throughout the night.
It was heartwarming to see so many students enjoying the evening with their families and carers. These events thrive because of YOU — so give yourselves a well-deserved pat on the back 👏

🌊 Earlier this week, some of our senior students visited the Marine Discovery Centre in Woodbridge for a hands-on learning adventure! After exploring marine life during an earlier incursion, this trip gave them the chance to dive deeper—feeding sharks, exploring touch tanks, and discovering more about our oceans.

It was a fantastic opportunity to practise literacy, numeracy, and especially our communication and AAC skills in a new and exciting environment. Huge thanks to Chloe and the team at the Woodbridge School Marine Discovery Centre for hosting us! 🐠👏

Our senior students turned trash into treasure at Hobart’s “Art from Trash” exhibition this July! Using recycled materials and papier mâché magic, our creative TASC classes brought their visions to life—S-Pink sculpted a stunning blue vase, S-Gold introduced us to Eddie the Elephant, and S-Red crafted an adorable caterpillar. These imaginative pieces were proudly displayed at The Long Gallery alongside works from artists across the city and are now brightening up our senior campus. Talk about turning rubbish into remarkable! ♻️✨
