🚒🔥 What an exciting and educational day for our NDIS participants at Ripley Fire Station! 🔥🚒

Today, our group got the chance to meet real-life heroes — the firefighters who keep our community safe. They explored the fire trucks, learned about the tools and equipment, and discovered what it takes to respond to emergencies.

This visit wasn’t just fun — it was an important opportunity to:

✅ Learn about fire safety and prevention
✅ Understand how to respond in an emergency
✅ Build confidence around emergency services
✅ Ask questions and connect with our local community

Thank you to the amazing crew at Ripley Fire Station for welcoming us and sharing your time and knowledge. You’ve inspired our participants and reminded us all why fire safety and community spirit matter. 👩‍🚒👨‍🚒❤️

Thank you Queensland Fire Department for hosting our little crew today! They had such an amazing

💉🩹 First Aid, CPR, Laughs & Pizza! 🍕🏉

Last night our amazing team got together for their annual First Aid & CPR refresher — because keeping our skills sharp is just as important as keeping the vibe alive!

Between practising compressions, brushing up on emergency response, sharing plenty of laughs, debating the State of Origin (of course!), and enjoying some well-earned pizza afterwards, it was a night full of teamwork and learning.

A big shoutout to our staff for their commitment to staying prepared — you all make safety look good! 🫶

Exciting Day at the Brisbane Careers Expo!

Today we headed to the Brisbane Convention Centre for the annual Careers Expo – what an incredible opportunity for our participants to take bold strides towards achieving their NDIS goals! 💼🎯

✔️ Finding and keeping a job: The expo was packed with employers, training providers, and job networks – the perfect chance to explore different career paths and chat about employment opportunities, unlocking doors to a brighter future.

🚉 Navigating public transport: Getting to the Convention Centre by train and bus gave participants a hands-on experience using public transport confidently and independently, empowering them to take control of their daily commute.

🗣️ Communicating with potential employers: From practicing greetings to asking questions and sharing resumes, it was a great environment to build social and communication skills in a professional setting, helping to unleash their full potential.

🌈 Managing a highly stimulating environment: The expo was busy and full of energy – lights, sounds, and crowds! Our participants did an amazing job using strategies to stay calm, focused, and engaged throughout the day, demonstrating remarkable resilience.

🚑 Bonus highlight: Our participants even had the chance to practice CPR and emergency response skills with professionals – building confidence in real-life situations and adding valuable life skills to their toolkit, truly inspiring.

We’re beyond proud of everyone who took part – each step today brought us closer to long-term independence and employment goals, and we can’t wait to see the incredible impact that will have on their lives. 💪🙌

**🌊 SeaWorld Group Day – Saturday Adventure Recap**

On Saturday, our participants enjoyed a fun-filled and meaningful group outing to SeaWorld, supporting several key NDIS goals around **social and community participation**. This experience provided a fantastic opportunity to practice important life skills in a vibrant and engaging environment, whilst facing challenges such as weather and sensory overload.

Throughout the day, participants navigated real-world scenarios such as queuing for rides, taking turns, and negotiating preferences when choosing attractions with peers—encouraging flexibility, patience, and cooperative decision-making. For some, it meant overcoming initial resistance to less-preferred activities and finding joy in shared experiences, building resilience and expanding their comfort zones.

This group setting also allowed for natural social interaction, where participants communicated with both peers and the general public, supported by staff to build confidence and strengthen interpersonal skills. From planning their day to celebrating small wins together, every moment contributed to personal growth and goal achievement. It contributes to gross motor skills and fine motor skills (walking, hoping into the ride, placing the safety bars on).

Overall, the SeaWorld outing was not just a day of excitement—it was a dynamic platform for learning, growing, and connecting.

Celebrating Everyday Moments and Connections🥳

I'm excited to share a collection of photos that capture the essence of daily living skills, community activities, and the joy of connecting with others over the last few weeks!

From hands-on cooking sessions where we prepared delicious meals together, to cleaning and self-care routines that empower us, every moment has been a step towards independence and confidence.

We also enjoyed some fantastic social activities! Our sewing classes sparked creativity and provided a space to learn new skills. Our monthly karaoke nights were filled with laughter, music, and a supportive atmosphere, making it a highlight for everyone involved.

Weekly activities have fostered amazing connections among participants, creating a sense of community that we cherish. 😍

Whether it's sharing stories, crafting together, or just enjoying each other's company, each experience is a reminder of the importance of social interaction and teamwork.😀😃
