Live 2 Achieve - Monday 16th February 2026
Welcome back to another exciting week at Live 2 Achieve! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Today our participants split into four groups, each enjoying a fantastic mix of learning, fun, and community involvement.
At Lilypond, the group started the morning by preparing delicious sandwiches for Pro Plumb’s toolbox meeting. Everyone worked beautifully as a team, with each person contributing different ingredients until the sandwiches were ready to go - a great example of teamwork in action!
The fun continued with a hands-on science experiment exploring how detergent reacts with food colouring in milk. The participants were amazed watching the colourful patterns swirl and change. We then headed outside for an exciting Coke and Mentos explosion experiment - always a crowd favourite!
Our second group volunteered at Gembrook Wildlife Rescue, where they helped feed the baby kangaroos and wombats and assisted with cleaning and general animal care. Their contribution plays such an important role in supporting the rescue’s daily operations. Wildlife sanctuaries rely heavily on volunteers to ensure the animals are fed, their environments are maintained, and they receive the care they need. We are so proud of the responsibility and compassion our participants show during these sessions.
The third group headed to Ozpin for a game of bowling. There were plenty of laughs, friendly competition, and great social moments shared between peers. Declan bowled an impressive game and walked away the winner - well done! After bowling, the group made their way to Fountain Gate for lunch.
Our fourth group enjoyed a swim at Casey ARC, making the most of the wave pool and getting in some fantastic physical activity. Swimming is such a great form of exercise, building strength, coordination, and confidence - all while having fun. Afterwards, they walked over to Fountain Gate where they met up with the bowling group to enjoy lunch together.
What a full and rewarding start to the week - we can’t wait to see what the rest of it brings!
