Heading: Student Programs 2025
For 2024, Support Skills has comprised four face-to-face groups and one online group, with students participating either once or twice per term. We enjoyed an excursion to a children’s opera and two groups spent the day at Guide Dogs Victoria.
For 2025, we will welcome groups A, B, C, D and Online. Excursions or incursions are yet to be confirmed but we are anticipating a day at a children’s opera, excursions to Guide Dogs Victoria and Scienceworks.

Dot Power 2025
Dot Power 2025
The Dot Power program is for students in Prep to Year 3 who use braille as their primary learning medium. The program is open to parents of pre-schoolers, too. It is a great opportunity for teachers, family members and others to get involved and learn about braille and tactile graphics and teaching with braille.
In 2025, we will welcome one group of Dot Power students, families and school personnel on one day in Terms 2, 3 and 4. Eligible students' families will receive invitations to the appropriate days for them. VTs will also be copied in to these invitations and are very welcome to attend any Dot Power days.
In 2025 we intend to have Dot Power on the following days: ‘
Term 2
May 13
Term 3
August 12
Term 4
Oct 28
NB Each year, it is our hope that the older Dot Power students will 'graduate' to the Support Skills Program, which runs on Fridays and is for students from Year 4 to 10. So, these older students, may not have a term 4 Dot Power day, but they can attend a Support Skills Try Day.
