It was great to show some year 12 Henbury School students and their families through our Pathways Program recently. Our Pathways Program offers a wide range of skill development activities that encourage participants to set and achieve individual goals, develop meaningful relationships, and gain new experiences. Students and their families were able to meet some of our team members, tour the space, and even try out some textiles projects and stop motion animation! This was a great opportunity for young people who are preparing to transition out of school in the new year to start planning their goals for the future. Our Pathways team are always happy to show people through the program. Whether you're a soon-to-be-school-leaver, or a participant looking to find a new hobby, get in touch to find out if Pathways is the right fit for you! Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gjgjwtgT

Let's give an enormous shout out to the frontline members of our team who stepped in to be a Cyclone Hero over the weekend.

We also acknowledge everyone in Carpentaria's team who played a part, and are still playing a key role, in managing the event. From administrative and logistics support, through to our Maintenance team, who are working to repair damage and remove trees and debris from Carpentaria homes and facilities as quickly as they can. 🙌
