Can I bring a support person with me?

Yes, you are very welcome to bring a support person to the class. We encourage you to let us know in advance so we can ensure there is enough space.

How can your classes help me start a small business?

We provide guidance and resources to help you turn your creations into a small business. We can offer advice on setting up a stall at local markets or selling your products online with our computer and technology classes.

What are your computer classes?

We teach all about technology, from the very basics, all the way to having a presence online with a web-store to sell your own creations! We start with understanding the computer, setting up essentials (such as email), how to connect to the internet, understanding web safety, security and privacy, and then creating your own web presence!

How can your classes help with social connections?

Our workshops are a great way to meet new people in a relaxed and friendly setting. We encourage collaboration and conversation, helping you build new friendships and connections within the community.

How are Day Programs NDIS funded?

Our Day Programs are NDIS funded, primarily using the “Assistance with Social and Community Participation” (Core Supports) category. This funding helps participants access a range of activities that support their goals for social inclusion, skill development, and community engagement.

What are the key learning outcomes of your classes?

Our classes help participants improve fine motor skills, focus and concentration, social interaction, communication, and creative problem-solving. They also provide a sense of achievement and a confidence boost.

What is our mission?

Our mission is to empower NDIS participants to achieve their goals through creative expression. We believe that learning arts and crafts skills can lead to greater independence, confidence, and social connections. Participants can use their creations for personal enjoyment, as gifts, or even to start their own small business at local markets or online.

Where can I follow you on social media?

You can follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates on new classes, behind-the-scenes content, and photos of our students’ amazing creations.

Can I suggest a new class?

Absolutely! We love hearing new ideas from our community. Feel free to contact us with any suggestions for workshops you’d like to see.

What makes your classes different?

We combine creative, hands-on activities with personalised support and a focus on long-term skill development. Our classes are not just about making something; they’re about the journey of learning and the potential to turn a hobby into a passion or even a business.
