School Holidays

When schools out, we’re in!

Enjoying the fun, sun, and adventure when partaking in BJ Care Services’ school holiday programs, tailored carefully to the preferences of participants, we aim to find new activities to explore for participants to experience, make friends and just have fun. School holidays is a time to recognise hard work, take a break and have some fun! We take these weeks as a golden opportunity to introduce and immerse participants in varied activities to acknowledge inclusivity in the community, offer the opportunity to give them choice within challenge activities and form connections with other individuals to call friends.

In these programs, inclusivity is a moral we at BJ Care Services we intend to bring to life through fostering positive behaviour. Making connections and making equal grounds for all. We believe that individuals with disabilities should have equal opportunities to participate in activities and events. That is why all our programs are designed to be inclusive, with trained staff and volunteers who are knowledgeable and understanding of the needs of individuals with disabilities. We also encourage families and caregivers to join in on the activities, promoting a sense of community and support.

We have complied a list of places to explore, things to do and fun packed activities but we are always open to finding new activities and we are always open to providing the resources to parents and caregivers of participants for their own schedules.
