Happy International Day of Sign Languages! 👋

Did you know there are over 300 different sign languages used worldwide? Each is a full language with its own grammar, culture, and history.

Today, we celebrate the power of sign languages to break communication barriers and promote inclusion, understanding, and equality for all. We respectfully acknowledge the Deaf community and their contributions. Learning even a few signs can help us connect, support, and show respect. 💙

We also had some celebrations and fun moments this week! We said "good luck" to our placement student who has finished their placement, and to mark the occasion, we had a high tea. We also had this amazing food art created by one of our clients, the bear pancake with ice cream fur, chocolate nose and eyes, and the apple ears were a real treat!

National NAIDOC Week is celebrated every July, recognizing the rich history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It's an opportunity for all Australians to learn about and celebrate the world's oldest living cultures.

Celebrating 50 years of NAIDOC Week in 2025!

This year's theme is: "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy", honouring ancestors and empowering future leaders.

The image: Ancestral Lines by Jeremy Morgan Worrall. This painting beautifully weaves together generations, songlines, and the enduring spirit of family. It's a powerful reminder of the strength and hope that have been passed down through ancestors. The land and the fire guide the next generation, echoing the knowledge and care shared through lore, hunting, weaving, and love.

July is Disability Pride Month, a vibrant celebration of the diverse abilities that enrich our world! It's a powerful time to honour the incredible strength, resilience, and unique perspectives of people with disabilities, reclaiming pride as a vital part of human diversity. Let's champion a future where inclusion, respect, and equity are at the heart of every community, celebrating the progress we've made and the fullness of who we are!

The cooking group this week had a great variety of dishes! We had pizza (The Garlic Collector - straight out of the Sonic The Hedgehog Cookbook), as well as dumplings! And at the end of the week, we felt we needed more pizza for a staff birthday party!
