Dinner prep in action! 🍽️

Beef Stroganoff was the meal of choice for this session. While making it completely from scratch wasn’t on the cards, a compromise was reached — adding two cups of veggies to boost the nutrition. Frozen spinach made a surprise appearance too; a quick, easy, and very well-hidden veggie option! 😄

A great session focused on practical cooking skills, teamwork, and finding simple ways to make everyday meals a little healthier. 🥦✨

A tasty session in the kitchen! 🍽️

This week’s meal choice was bangers and mash, and the plan went from idea to plate — with a quick stop at the supermarket to grab the ingredients. After a little convincing, some veggies made their way onto the menu too 😅

From choosing ingredients at the shops to cooking everything up in the kitchen, it’s great to see confidence and decision-making continuing to grow each session. A delicious result and some awesome life skills in action! 👏🥔

A focused session building momentum toward employment goals! ✨

This participant continued actively searching and applying for roles aligned with their interests, submitting applications for a FOH café position as well as a role with a local library. In the library application, they thoughtfully highlighted their love of reading and interest in supporting emerging authors — a great example of tailoring an application to the role. 📚

The TAFE pathway discussed previously is still being considered, with plans to talk it through with family ahead of the April intake. A steady and productive session showing persistence and growing clarity around future direction.

A valuable volunteering session at the Baby Give Back warehouse! 💛

The morning began in the “alley,” sorting donated clothing by size before progressing to the next stage — quality checking. This involved carefully assessing each item for the correct size, checking for marks or damage, and ensuring buttons and zips were in good working order so the clothing is ready to be packed and delivered to families in need.

A fantastic eye for detail was on display, quickly spotting marks that others may have missed — something the volunteer team greatly appreciated, as maintaining high standards is essential to the service they provide. A great contribution and another step forward in building confidence and workplace-ready skills. ✨

✨ Retail Research in Action!

The SLES group continued their field research, diving deeper into what it really takes to run a successful retail business. The session explored the definition of consignment, along with key considerations such as postage and packaging, permissions and policies, pricing strategies, and the broader impacts of launching an online platform.

Thoughtful conversations, practical problem-solving, and real-world business thinking — all helping build the skills needed to take Uploved to the next level! 📦🛍️

🎨 Creative challenges at Uploved!

This session started strong, getting straight into tasks around the store. The focus turned to refreshing the displays by restyling three mannequins — including tackling a kimono look!

A few YouTube tutorials were called in for backup (which turned out trickier than expected 😅), but it was a great opportunity to experiment, problem-solve, and get creative with the styling.

A fun and productive session building confidence in visual merchandising while helping keep the store fresh and inviting for customers. ✨

Keeping things running behind the scenes at Uploved! 👕✨

This session focused on sorting through older stock and preparing items to be returned to consignees — one of those less glamorous but very important jobs that helps the store run smoothly.

A great effort showing responsibility, attention to detail, and commitment to the team. Well done! ✔️

25/03/2026

Arriving early and ready for the session, this participant shared a strong focus on staying busy and thinking about positive next steps.

The session centred on practical planning — confirming transport arrangements and preparing for an upcoming information session to stay organised and proactive.

We also worked through “Yes/Maybe” career ideas, sorting them into three clear tiers. Strong interest areas included Brand Manager, Social Media Manager, Architect, Interior Decorator, Analyst and more. An interesting common thread emerged — many of these roles sit within the creative industry, which aligns well with personal strengths and personality.

A meaningful session focused on direction, self-awareness, and growing confidence for what’s ahead. Great momentum building! ✨

Random skill of the day unlocked! ⛽💨

Before diving into job skills, this session added another practical life skill — learning how to use the air pump at the petrol station.

From checking tyre pressure to operating the machine confidently, it’s one of those small but important skills that builds real independence.

Another capability added to the toolkit — well done! 👏

Planning for success! 🗓️

This session focused on mapping out the month ahead using a planner board. Writing down what’s coming up each week helps build routine, reduce surprises, and make mornings smoother — knowing exactly when to be up and ready.

A simple strategy that builds organisation, independence, and confidence. Great work! ✔️✨

🐾 Keeping Cool at AWL!
A lazy day for the cats — but an absolute scorcher for us! ☀️

While the furry residents were stretched out enjoying the shade, we kept busy staying on top of an important task: making sure fresh, cool water was constantly available. Hydration is critical in this heat, and it’s a simple job that makes a big difference to animal wellbeing.

Another great volunteering session at Animal Welfare League Queensland — practical care, teamwork, and learning to stay proactive even on the hottest days. 💧🐱

✨ Thriving in a busy retail environment!

Arriving early via Uber and ready to go, this participant opened the shop and jumped straight into tasks. The morning brought steady foot traffic, providing valuable exposure to a range of personalities and communication styles. Each interaction was handled confidently and professionally, with great adaptability throughout.

Recent updates to store displays are clearly making an impact — increased foot traffic and even some returning customers have created opportunities to build rapport and strengthen small talk skills.

A fantastic session focused on confidence, communication, and real-world retail capability. 👏🛍️
