Our recent Knights of the Shed school holiday program focused on understanding the Convention on the Rights of the Child through a local Hobart lens.
The core of the program wasn’t about creation, but about conversation. Important discussions took place between participants and our therapy assistants related to the rights, safety, and support available to them.
Understanding our rights and available community support is essential. We specifically highlighted the roles of key Hobart services in upholding these rights:
• Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania (MRC)
• Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre (TAC)
• Working It Out (WIO)
• Association for Children with Disability Tasmania (ACD Tas)
What does it mean to understand our rights and what’s available to us? It means knowing where to turn when support is needed and feeling empowered to be an active part of the community.
While the primary activity was conversation, participants still engaged in focused activities like miniature figure painting and Zentangle-inspired art as tools for connection and discussion.
Disclaimer: Many of the art works featured here are “work in progress” and participants were very kind and tolerant of having them snapped before being “ready” or “finished”.

Knights of the Shed would like to extend a huge congratulations to our former key staff member, Lil, who has established a wonderful new community service!

Lil was instrumental in the establishment of our social skills programs that you all see and love today. Without her work and dedication, we would never have been able to do what we do. Once again, Lil has created an inclusive and welcoming community and environment for others.

Join her at the Dementia Action Week Meet, Share, Learn Together event:

Ashe and Kaelin, at the recent Rosny College 'Beyond the School Gate' expo.

The event provided an excellent platform to explore post-secondary education options for young people. Kaelin was a fantastic advocate, sharing his personal experience and highlighting the positive impacts he's gained from Knights of the Shed social skills programs. He spoke about how he's learned to be more socially aware, formed genuine connections with peers that extend beyond our sessions, and found fun and shared amusement through creative activities.

We were incredibly impressed by the Rosny College students and staff who demonstrated outstanding hosting skills and support for attendees. The attention to detail, including the delicious catering and the festive atmosphere enhanced by Book Week costumes, made for a truly well-executed and memorable day.
