Two of our outstanding Year 11 School Support students, Rhianna & Sam, are off to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama 🚀

With the guidance of their NextSense support teachers, Monica and Joy, they’ve joined 200+ blind & low vision students from across the globe at the SCIVIS (Space Camp for Interested Visually Impaired Students) at U.S. Space & Rocket Center.

From piloting shuttles & simulating zero gravity to sleeping in old NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration rockets, this experience will bring new challenges & unforgettable memories 🌟

Manager of NextSense School Support Services Pranitha calls it “a life-changing experience. Students return more confident, independent & with lifelong friendships” 💫

On 11 September, our NextSense School community came together to mark R U OK? Day 💛

We started the morning with tai chi, setting the tone for reflection. Throughout the day, students and staff explored what it feels like to be flourishing, going ok, struggling or in crisis.

Most importantly we checked in with each other, reminding ourselves that every conversation matters. Asking “R U OK?” can make a difference 💬✨
