Sensory Program

We have three sensory rooms, each one geared to provide people with a different sensory experience.  We have a blacked out room with UV lighting, a small space for enjoying sound, music and vibrations and a large open space filled with a variety of interactive equipment.

Sensory Garden

*Our sensory garden is a popular spot for lunch all year round.  It is filled with colour, sound, smells and even tastes.  Some of our raised garden beds are dedicated to the production of herbs and vegetables and we have many fruit trees within the garden also, all of which are used in our cooking program.

Motor Club

Motor Club is a newly formed program, which developes a better knowledge of cars and how they work, with the aim to work as a team in restoring a car. The program helps to develop team spirit, which includes support for each other, dedication, and committment to the task.

It focuses on literacy and numeracy skills, in an informal fashion, while focusing on the individual passion for motors and creativity.

The Motor Club has secured a contract for 2012 where our participants will be detailing a fleet of vehicles for a local organisation.
