We Rock the Spectrum - Preston, Vic

24/03/2026

To support our Striking Teachers and the families they work with, we put on a special program today for kids and teens who required support.
Our Teen group had a wonderful time at Werribee Zoo on Safari. Incredible scenes unfolded with Giraffes and Ostriches right before our eyes.
A great day… thanks to our wonderful
Staff for stepping up, last minute.
And let’s hope our hard working teachers get what they deserve. 💪

Our Teen Evening Group had the most magical evening at The Capital Theatre experiencing Ballet of Lights - Peter Pan. So spectacular. We were spellbound!
We then headed for a burger dinner at our favourite Train Restaurant, Easey’s. Such an awesome night!

Absolutely stunning day out for our Saturday Combo Group kids at
The beautiful way they all looked out for each other as we made our way around the zoo was so special.
The best of kids. ❤️🐒🦁

POSSIBLE INDUSTRIAL ACTION

Care for Kids and Teens

The AEU (Australian Education Union) is planning a Stop Work industrial action on Tuesday, 24th March. This means that many teachers and school staff members at public schools around Victoria will be participating in the strike.

In support of teachers and staff and the families they serve, We Rock the Spectrum is standing by to provide support to families who may find themselves in need of care for their child that day.

Because of the uncertain nature of the Strike and who will be involved, we are happy to hold spots for children and release them if individual children are infact able to attend school.

We will just require a 24 Hour Cancellation notice, unless the Industrial Action is cancelled in less time than that, in which case we will cancel the program without charge.

Please Express your interest in having a spot held for your child at the link below.

Increased public transport benefits for carers in Victoria.

The Premier's Office announced today that starting this Sunday morning (Nov 30, 2025), carers in Victoria will be entitled to FREE weekend public transport to EVERYWHERE across the state. Whether you catch a train, tram or bus, or all three, travel will be FREE on weekends, not just in 2 neighbouring zones, but to everywhere in Victoria, and not just until February 1, 2026, but ongoing.

To benefit from this, you need a Concession myki card which you can get from any manned train station on the spot by showing them your Victorian Carers Card (aka We Care Card).

If you don't have a Victorian Carers Card, apply for your Victorian Carers Card online. Go to: https://dhhs-cardoperations.my.site.com/CarerApplication/s/ The Concession myki card is normally sent to you as part of that application.
