School Holiday Short Breaks are offered twice a year for young people aged 10–17 with Down syndrome or other intellectual disabilities. These programs run during the April and September/October school holidays and provide a structured yet enjoyable experience, while also offering Short Term Respite (STR) for participants and their families.

Participants take part in a range of enriching activities, including shared meals, team-building exercises, and attendance at local community events. The program is designed to foster social connection and independence, supporting participants to build friendships and confidence in a supportive group environment.

In line with NDIS Short Term Respite (STR) guidelines, the program also focuses on skill development and capacity building, supporting participants to work towards their individual NDIS goals. A strong emphasis is placed on safety, inclusion, and wellbeing, ensuring each participant can enjoy a positive and meaningful break.
