Social times for the month of June

This past month has been a choice month, filled with a variety of community outings and centre-based activities.

I enjoy practising for my end of term drama performance - "The Princesses Slumber Party Disaster," where I am acting as Sleeping Beauty.

I liked my social community connections this month, featuring a delicious hot lunch of fish and chips at the Citz Club alongside friends from Connect 20, as well as a BBQ lunch at Isla Park.I also included weekly centre shopping trips and time volunteering at the SPCA Op Shop.I enjoyed some whanau time,  travelling to Hamilton for a wonderful catch up with my sister. 

During my downtime, I got creative. I love "My Time My Choice" sessions, they are a perfect opportunity for a little relaxing iPad time, music, and relaxation. A warm sensory room is also a favourite during these cooler days, watching a variety of movies - Ordinary Angels, Remarkably Bright Creatures, and the action-packed Jurassic Park 3.

I've had a fun month with my friends, that's for sure. Ka kite ano, Gayleen.

Fun times for the month of May

Hi Gayleen here,


This month has been filled with a nice balance of centre-based activities and fun community connections with my

friends. 

It’s been a cold month so staying warm and cosy is the go, I did have a few days off as I was  unwell. I have had

plenty of relaxation and creativity, including mindful colouring in, My time, My choice of iPads, magazines and

peaceful sensory room sessions watching the movie Pan and unwinding to the soothing sounds of nature. Waiata has been great, singing all sorts of songs ready for our

iSing performance end of June 

Out in the Hapori (community), I've had a social month - practicing my new drama show “The Princesses Slumber Party Disaster”, starring as Sleeping Beauty, social outings to play pool at the Marble Bar, Quirks cafe, Greerton centre cheering them on at their talent quest & centre shopping @ New World. Well that’s all from me,  Ka kite ano Gayleen.
