Dare to be Different this April 💛

Our Dare to Be Different program for schools help children build confidence, friendships, and a sense of pride in who they are. It opens the door for real conversations about kindness, inclusion, and understanding each other.

Schools can get involved by hosting a fun fundraising event like a m***i day, crazy hair day, crazy sock day, or even a “be yourself” day. It’s an easy way to bring people together and celebrate what makes each of us unique, with a gold coin donation helping Autism Advisory & Support Service continue supporting local families.

If you’d like to take part and receive the Dare to Be Different School Resources, we’d love to hear from you. Email lisa@aass.org.au for more information

Because different isn’t something to hide… it’s something to celebrate.

Taking the kids to the orchestra might sound like a big outing, but sometimes it turns out to be one of those magical family moments you didn’t expect.

This September, our friends at the Sydney Symphony Orchestra are bringing a beautiful family concert to the Sydney Opera House with a performance of Carnival of the Animals that is designed especially for children.

Carnival of the Animals is one of the most playful pieces of classical music ever written. Each section of the music represents a different animal, and the orchestra brings them to life using their instruments. There are elephants stomping along in the deep sounds of the double bass, hens clucking through quick piano and string notes, and the graceful swan gliding along through a beautiful cello melody. It feels a little like a musical trip to the zoo, where every new movement introduces another creature.

The concert will be conducted by Benjamin Northey, Conductor in Residence with the orchestra. His warm and engaging style makes these family concerts feel welcoming and accessible for first time concertgoers.

Another thoughtful feature is the relaxed performance scheduled for the afternoon. This version has a smaller audience and adjusted lighting, creating a calmer environment for children who may prefer a more relaxed setting, including those with sensory sensitivities.

If you are looking for a family outing that is a little different this year, this concert might be just the ticket. Sometimes the best learning happens when it feels like pure fun.
