Christine's Corner 

Good afternoon Carers and Parents,

It has been an interesting start with the 5 day lockdown. I was waiting with great anticipation for the announcement on Wednesday. What a relief to have the restrictions eased and resume some type of normality. 

Over the last 2 weeks we have started up the parents coffee shop on Fridays followed by a fitness, mindfulness workshop. 

If you love a good workout, that leaves you feeling relaxed and pumped whilst being safe, YOU WILL LOVE THE WORKOUT. One parent said, "This has been great for de-stressing, I feel energised and like I have achieved something."

There are 3 sessions remaining. You won’t want to miss out. The additional workshop has been so informative and practical. 

Time: 10.00am

To register: Please email or phone Christine on 0459868745, or christine.battams@education.vic.gov.au

We would love you to support our coffee shop and participate in our raffle as it is fundraising for carers activities in April and May.

• We Rock The Spectrum – Kids Gym

SAVE THE DATE: WEDNESDAY 28th April Yarrabah’s Carers Expo. Theme “I CAN” 

We have sourced inspiring speakers and relevant practical workshops, even one especially for the men. 

It will be a wonderful time to connect and be resourced with:
