Are you looking for things to do in the upcoming school holidays? Would you like your child to have interesting and stimulating activities to do? Concerned about the level of care your child needs to attend a holiday program?
Look no further than Allowah!
We run fun and engaging holiday activities for children with complex medical needs and disabilities. Our team of nurses and support staff are especially trained in caring for kids with complex needs. Our programs are undertaken in a fun, caring and supportive environment.
The School Holiday Program is run by our Support Workers and Assistants in Nursing who are fully trained to provide personal care and eating / drinking support for your child.
So that we can get to know you and your child’s needs, we will meet with you prior to your child attending Allowah.
Come for one day, come for a couple of days and stay overnight or come for a whole week of fun!
The first week at Allowah is all about game shows, and your young person is the star of the show! From the fast-paced action of The Amazing Race to the tough choices of Deal or No Deal, the hilarious challenges of Taskmaster, and the trivia madness of Jeopardy and Family Feud — each day brings something new, unexpected, and full of fun.
While taking part in Allowah’s school holiday program, your young person will engage in creative challenges, team games, music, movement, science experiments, and crafty projects — all with a game show twist. Whether they’re solving puzzles, racing against the clock, or cracking clues, it’s all about getting involved, having a laugh, and trying something new.
No two days are the same… and the only rule is to have a great time!
This week at Allowah, it’s all about creativity, colour, and making magic with your hands! Your young artist will dive into a world of painting, crafting, movement, and music — exploring new ways to express themselves and bring their imagination to life.
Each day is packed with exciting art projects, teamwork, sensory play, and creative experiments that inspire curiosity and confidence. From splashing paint to shaping clay and dancing to original beats, Allowah’s Art House is the perfect place to let creativity run wild.
We also have the special event “Allowah’s Art Gallery” this week! Watch as we transform Allowah into an artist’s gallery and display the incredible art made by your young people and Allowah staff. There will be opportunities to auction off artistic works and browse around our gallery.
Please stay tuned for more information!
Allowah's respite stays provide kids some time away from family to take a break from daily routine by staying in an accessible home-away-from-home. With daily activities, the opportunity to interact with new friends and expert medical and nursing staff on hand, you can have peace-of-mind while your child enjoys a break from routine. Our team of nurses and support staff are especially trained in caring for kids with complex needs. With at least one Registered Nurse on site at all times, and experienced paediatricians on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, you can be confident that your child is well looked after during their stay.
Allowah’s School Holiday Program is open to all children with moderate to severe disabilities. The School Holiday Program offers one-to-one support and engaging activities tailored to your child's abilities. The School Holiday Program can be paid for from the core supports budget in your child’s NDIS plan or through private payment. Children with complex medical needs are most welcome. The program may not suit all children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, but please have a chat with us so we can see what might work.
