Meal prepping with NDIS participants can be a proper good time if you keep it simple and playful. Chop veggies together while blasting a playlist, turn sandwich-making into a silly competition, or line up colourful containers and let everyone pick their own “mystery meal” combo. When you laugh through the process, talk about favourite flavours and celebrate the finished fridge full of ready-to-go food, it stops feeling like a chore and starts feeling like a fun team win. Suddenly healthy eating becomes something everyone looks forward to.

Group activities are where the real magic (and giggles) happen with NDIS participants. Think team games, circuit challenges, music-fuelled dance-offs or silly relay races in the gym — anything that gets everyone moving, laughing and cheering each other on. When the focus is on fun instead of perfection, people relax, try new things and build friendships without even realising they’re working out. Keep it light, inclusive and full of high-fives, and suddenly exercise stops feeling like “work” and starts feeling like the best part of the day.

Being fully present with your NDIS participants in the gym is the real secret sauce. Put the phone away, tune in, and actually notice how they’re going—whether they’re smashing it, need a quick tweak, or could use a high-five. When you’re right there with them, spotting good form, switching things up if needed, and cheering them on, the whole session feels safer, more fun, and way more empowering. That’s how you help people build strength, confidence, and a genuine love for moving their body.

Why walk around places/ areas where everyone goes to daily when you can switch it up & walk around outdoors? 🤷‍♂️

Engaging outdoor activities help learners with learning disabilities build confidence, process sensory input, and practice new skills in a calm environment.
Combine this with multiple participants (whom get along together) to make that experience abit more fun, special and rewarding

DYSS is excited to be a part of the team this year! What an experience it has been despite the health of our representative (George), he is still in there for the team.
Well done to all

From this week we will be showing our appreciation for all our awesome sponsors (starting with our Gold Level Sponsors, in alphabetical order! 😁)
Without their support, Beach Day Out would simply not be possible!

Teaching how to meal prep and exercise correctly in the gym is very important for their health and independence. Meal prep helps them choose better foods, keep energy up, and manage their diet more easily. Learning the right way to work out keeps them safe, builds strength, improves movement, and lowers the chance of injury. These skills help them feel more confident and take better care of themselves every day.
