We have a great learning opportunity coming up in OT at the end of September! A final year Clinical Exercise Physiology student will be working with us for two weeks, as part of her practical placement.

Sarah Murray (picture below) worked in other allied health fields for 10 years before deciding to train as an EP. She loves working with animals and kids and being in the outdoors. She lives locally with her family and will soon be a fully-fledged Clinical Exercise Physiologist providing services in our area.

So, if you have any questions about what Exercise Physiology is all about, and how it could help you and your child, now is your chance to ask them :)

(If you have any other questions about Sarah's student placement and how that might impact your OT session, please message or phone me)

Minecraft social skills groups are running again these school holidays! Online booking available through the website ssc-occupationaltherapy.com.au

In week one we learn about Being a Good Sport, and in week two it's all about Accepting Consequences.

Open for children in Primary and High school - a one-and-a-half-hour group where we play actual Minecraft as well as learn about these important social skills.

*Junior primary groups are filling fast - please let us know if you can't find a spot through online bookings and we will try to accommodate you*

Call, message, or go to the website for more information. Hope to see you there!!!

It is always difficult to describe what an OT does - this way of explaining it is quite accurate I think!

And that's a wrap for Minecraft groups these holidays! They were intense, creative, fun, and exciting. Every group had a different vibe, depending on the personalities of the kids attending.

We had some lovely moments of new friendship connections and kids just having fun with each other in a supportive environment.

As you can see from this photo one of the kids generously brought their surplus Cubeez to share, and this was very much appreciated by all.

If you missed out this time, don't worry - there will be more groups next school holidays :)

This week in Minecraft groups we have enjoyed some delicious Hay Bale Granola Bars. We decided to share the recipe with you so you can make them yourselves. You can also find other great recipes in The Minecrafter's Cookbook.
