🐑 Nothing beats a day on the farm!

The Cre8 and Craft crew headed out for a hands-on experience feeding week-old lambs and bottle feeding some of the newest arrivals. They also learned more about the important work that goes into caring for young lambs.

To top it all off, the day finished with a BBQ lunch at the Cre8 shed, cooked by Mark and Bryce.

A big thanks to everyone who made it such a great day!

Paddy's been busy in the workshop! 🔨

For the past two and a half years, Paddy has been attending our Cre8 Junior program and working hard towards his goals.

From learning to identify tools on the shadow board to building confidence using basic power tools, he's made some fantastic progress.

One of Paddy's recent achievements is confidently identifying PPE, an important skill for working safely in the workshop.

Cre8 Junior is all about helping young people build practical skills, get creative, make friends and have fun while working towards their goals.

If your child would love to learn new skills in a supportive environment, we'd love to hear from you!

A weekend away, good company, and plenty to explore ☀️

Our Short-Term Respite group recently enjoyed a getaway to Mount Martha, spending time together cooking, relaxing, exploring the beach, visiting the Mornington Rose Garden, and enjoying some great food along the way.

Pictured here are Bethany and Josh making the most of the trip! It was a great chance to get out and about, spend time together, and make some happy memories.

☕Where Is My Coffee?, our newest social enterprise cafe at Bendigo TAFE, has got off to a flying start since opening in May!

Café Coordinator Jacinta described the first few weeks of trading as “fantastic”.

“The support and feedback from TAFE staff and students has been really positive and it's lovely to see local residents finding us as well. We have a really supportive team, and it’s wonderful to see how enthusiastic everyone is to create a unique learning environment.”

Trainee Craig is kicking goals too, Jacinta says.

“Craig is absolutely loving it here, and fits in so well. He's very excited to be open to customers. He's been busy in the kitchen baking and learning how to make coffee. Our second trainee Andrew also started with us several weeks ago. He has been able to pick up coffee making really quickly and made me an amazing latte last Friday!”

📌Where Is My Coffee? Bendigo is located at Bendigo Tafe, Building E/154 Hargreaves St, Bendigo VIC 3550.

Drop in for a coffee if you're in the area! ☕
