Safety is always our priority. Every participant wears a vest, and theyโ€™re supported by both Shepparton Access Support Workers (on the water and on land) and the dedicated All Abilities Canoe volunteers. Even when someone tips over โ€” whether testing the canoeโ€™s limits or their own balance โ€” these moments build resilience, adaptability, emotional regulation, teamwork, and strong social connections through shared experiences.

๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š A special shoutโ€‘out to Teagan, who used the canoeing skills sheโ€™s built over the past year to support her peers and make the afternoon even more enjoyable for everyone. What a teammate! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š

Fresh off their visit to Southern Cross Austereo, the team wasted absolutely no time putting their new knowledge into action. Armed with tips from the pros, theyโ€™ve jumped straight into practising their very own podcast โ€” and the creativity has been flowing.

From brainstorming interview questions, mapping out the flow of a conversation, and even dreaming up fun segments to include, the crew has been building real skills and real confidence.

Following our return for 2026, our participants had the chance to attend a fantastic Snake Safety session at SAM, hosted by RiverConnect - Greater Shepparton and Black Snake Productions. The event was incredibly well received and packed with valuable learning.

Our participants explored the different types of local snakesโ€”Tiger Snakes, Brown Snakes, and Redโ€‘bellied Black Snakesโ€”and learnt how to identify them, understand their temperaments, and stay safe while out in nature. The group also gained practical knowledge on what to do in the event of a snake bite during bushwalks.

A special shoutโ€‘out to James, who showed amazing bravery by holding the albino olive python!

We love seeing our participants grow in confidence, knowledge, and connection with the world around them.
