Saturday Connect is a dynamic social program crafted specifically for school leavers and young adults seeking engaging experiences that nurture meaningful social connections. In the wake of the pandemic, we鈥檝e witnessed a remarkable surge in program participation, and we anticipate a steady, purposeful expansion in the coming years to ensure more young adults can embark on rewarding journeys of self-discovery.
Over the past year, our participants have embarked on many uplifting and enriching adventures. They鈥檝e ventured to local hotspots, explored new horizons through the transport network, and revelled in the enriching tapestry of on-campus activities – all within the tranquil embrace of our sprawling 12-hectare bushland campus. From invigorating bush walks that awaken the senses to the boundless creativity of arts and crafts, from spirited games that ignite laughter to harmonious music sessions that soothe the soul, our program is a dynamic mosaic of opportunities designed to foster social interaction and personal growth.
Meet Hayden
Hayden, a cheerful and playful 17-year-old, has a love for the outdoors and a fondness for indulging in French fries during rides in his big brother鈥檚 car. He loves engaging in water play, playing ball games, swinging to his heart鈥檚 content, and lounging on the trampoline.
As Hayden is nearing the end of his school years, his mother, Sarah, embarked on a quest to find a place that could seamlessly accommodate his spirited, nature loving personality throughout his adulthood. A swift Google search led her to the Saturday Connect program at 澳门六合彩图库, where they eagerly enrolled.
Typically, Hayden isn鈥檛 one for surprises. Careful planning and consideration for his comfort have been key in fostering his ability to socialise and participate in activities. To ensure his smooth transition into the Saturday Connect program, some of his most cherished items awaited him on his very first day 鈥 his favourite music (Mumford & Sons and One Direction), balls, pillows, and sensory items. Hayden鈥檚 immediate affection for his new Saturday program warmed the hearts of his parents, who deeply appreciated the attention to detail and thoughtful preparation. To them, 澳门六合彩图库 has proven to be everything they had ever envisioned, and more.
The sight of Hayden鈥檚 contentment from day one, his smile, and his eager anticipation of Saturdays at 澳门六合彩图库 provided great relief to his family. Sarah shared her thoughts, stating, 鈥淢any places claim to offer a person-centred approach, but 澳门六合彩图库 truly embodies it 100%. Hayden鈥檚 parents have always valued him as a person with unique interests and preferences, and they鈥檝e gone to great lengths to ensure his success鈥.
Sarah has thoughtfully created a visual weekly schedule for Hayden, prominently displayed in their family room. When Hayden points to the 澳门六合彩图库 segment with a big smile, Sarah gently reminds him 鈥淣ot today. It will be Saturday soon鈥.
We are so pleased to welcome Hayden into our Saturday Connect program and we will ensure that it will continue to be a place of fun experiences, joy, and comfort.
