As our key focus remains safeguarding our participants, their families, and our team, we are continuing to follow advice from the Australian Government and WA Department of Health.
To ensure that you are kept up to date we will endeavour to send updates weekly or sooner if changes occur.
We will be refocusing our activities and itineraries on education of health and hygiene practice as well as social distancing. Our participants will be learning valuable skills while enjoying fun and interactive games and activities through an inclusive and supportive environment.
Before and during every Camp and Program participants will learn the following:
- The importance of good hygiene and good hygiene practices
- Social distancing and its importance, while remaining inclusive and fun
- The importance of handwashing and good handwashing practices
Activities include:
- “Hand Washing Hero” Awards
- The Pepper Experiment. An educational science experiment to demonstrate the importance of using soap when washing your hands.
- Hand wash sing-a-long
This is an opportunity to CONNECT as a community, LEARN new skills and practices, and CELEBRATE our kindness and support towards one another.
