Day Program

The Monday boys group kicked off the day as usual, with everyone meeting at the hub and settling into a relaxed morning routine. Steven and Jemmerson enjoyed some toast and a coffee to start the day, while Lochie and Drew jumped into a friendly game of pool. The group spent some time catching up and sharing stories from their weekend before heading out for a game of tenpin bowling.

At the bowling alley, Jemmerson really got into the activity and showed a competitive side, especially when bowling alongside James. It was great to see such strong engagement and friendly rivalry.

After a busy morning, the group returned to the hub ready for lunch. Beef burgers and chips were on the menu and were a big hit, disappearing very quickly.

The afternoon was spent winding down together, relaxing on the couch and watching Christmas movies to get into the festive spirit.…

The boys arrived at the hub at 9:00am in great spirits, ready to kick off another Monday together. We started the morning with breakfast and morning tea before settling into some arts and crafts, where the boys continued painting their own t-shirts. A couple of participants opted for a relaxed start to the day with a movie, while the rest worked creatively on their designs.

At 10:00am we headed out for our outing to the Barwon Heads Hotel. Everyone was excited for the trip, and once we arrived, we found a comfortable spot outside to enjoy lunch in the warm weather.

Today brought a warm, festive energy to the BSS Hub as everyone settled into a relaxed and enjoyable Wednesday program.

The morning started with calm arrivals and morning tea while participants explored craft activities and socialised. Mid-morning, the group headed out to choose this year’s Christmas tree—always a favourite outing.

Back home, a delicious roast lunch was served, filling the hub with Christmas aromas and plenty of smiles. After lunch, the afternoon opened up into a mix of creative, social and sensory activities.

One of the highlights was Steven designing and making his own shirt, choosing his colours and getting involved in each step. He was proud of his creation and enjoyed showing everyone his design.

Today’s Tuesday Group was smooth, settled, and full of good engagement across the board. Everyone eased into the morning with their usual routines—UNO, pool, morning tea—setting a positive tone for the day.

By mid-morning, participants split into their preferred activities. Drew and Loughlin enjoyed a few friendly rounds of pool, the movie room was popular with Christmas movies fitting for the first week of December, and others spent time in the craft area working on creative projects.

Lunch was a hub favourite: a BBQ with everyone choosing something they liked and enjoying music and conversation together. After lunch, the group headed out to bowling where the energy stayed high—Sarah took out the win and was very proud of herself!

Back at the hub in the afternoon, staff focused on supporting individual needs:

• offering activity choices for the girls

• engagement and social connection with the boys
