Carinya Society's excellent facilities enable the running of an extensive range of programs within the centre. These include art, pottery, mosaics, woodwork, card making, music, dance, simple meal preperation, cooking, gardening and the sensory program.

 

Pottery & Mosaics

The pottery and mosaic programs run three days a week in our art building.  Our pottery and mosaic teacher is a practising artist and has worked for many years teaching art, pottery and mosaics to people of all abilities.  People participating in the program have the choice of taking their work home or of putting it up for sale.

Art & Craft

Art runs five days a week in our very busy art building.  Staff working in this area work hard not only to facilitate the development of artists but also in the promotion of their work.   Hobbycraft, craft and jewellery making also run from the art room.  All participants have the choice of taking work home or selling it.  Some of the work currently for sale is displayed elsewhere on this website.

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.

Water based programs

These programs are always popular.  We have 5 water based programs accross the week and use several different pools to meet the different needs of the people participating.
