What an adventure our week has been so far at Toowoomba Day Service!

We kicked things off with a shopping trip to grab all our groceries for the week and get ready for cooking class. Safe to say, everyone was very excited about the food choices along the way.

Our cooking class was a huge hit, with everyone making delicious fruit shakes that were healthy, refreshing, and honestly tasted better than anything from a café.

We also put our brains to the test with some animal trivia. There may have been a little too much confidence in some answers and a lot of yelling at the TV when we “definitely knew that one.”
The wet weather brought plenty of laughs too, especially with our very own Rain Man Will showing off his dance moves and keeping everyone entertained.

To top it all off, we relaxed together and took in the beautiful view of Table Top. A perfect mix of fun, laughs, teamwork, and great memories already, and the week isn’t over yet!
We can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings at Toowoomba Day Service.

What a fun and engaging week we’ve had at Day Service! 🌟

Participants enjoyed making healthy and refreshing açaí bowls, supporting independence, healthy food choices, meal preparation skills, and social engagement. We also headed out for a wonderful community pub lunch, helping build confidence, community access skills, social interaction, and positive peer connections.

To finish off the week, participants got creative making beautiful Mother’s Day crafts 💐✨, encouraging self-expression, fine motor skills, creativity, and meaningful connection with loved ones.

We hope everyone has a beautiful Mother’s Day and a weekend

🐶Toowoomba Day Service 🐶

We’ve had Awan rocking a dress-up (still not sure if it was fashion or a cry for help 😂), spotted Liam stalking us at lunch 👀—mate, we see you!—and topped it all off with an awesome time at the City Golf Club ⛳

Kicking off the new week the right way with Coffee with a Cop ☕🚓 Big thanks to the amazing Toowoomba Police team for the great chats and laughs!
Safe to say… never a dull moment around here!

What a fun and wholesome week it’s been for the Rockhampton day service group! 🍂🐶
We spent plenty of time out in nature, enjoying group walks and soaking up the fresh air and beauty of the new autumn season. The guys absolutely love going out in the outdoors, encouraging one another, staying active, and making the most of the autumn sunshine. ☀️
To top off the week, we visited the Koorana crocodile farm, which was an amazing experience! Everyone had the chance to hold these incredible prehistoric animals, learn about their environments, and share lots of laughs along the way. 🐊🐊
So grateful for these moments of connection, learning, and joy together
