Live Wires Update

ACCRUE’s commitment to Live Wires allows us to run 2 after school sessions every week during school terms, plus the holiday program, in which we offer, in the kid’s words:

• First time I ever went to the beach, it was really far away there was so much sand we had to walk over it and it was hot. Then we got to the waves it was exciting and I jumped up over the waves and I felt scared, but I was with my best friend.

• We went to a place called Fun Fields and it’s like Disneyland and there’s every ride in the world and it’s the best day of fun you can ever do but you will get wet if you go there.

• We went to a big park called Botanic Gardens and we made our own picnic food and we put out a rug and I made it flat. We had a big feast and special treats and we played chasey and then we did music and fun and then Alli fell asleep and we didn’t wake her up.

• There is a place in the city I didn’t even know existed and it is called Riverslide and it is a skate board place and we got to use skateboards and some people went on big ramps and I just pushed mine around not too fast and we had a cool skating teacher called Mo and it was the coolest.

• We went to Fitzroy Pool, and they told us there’s the big kids pool and the small kids pool and the small kids ran and jumped in the deep one anyway but then some of us couldn’t swim so we had to get helped out, but it was very funny and we had chips.

Above, we shared the highlights from the Live Wires Holiday Programs. However, the regular weekly updates are equally heart-warming. Let me provide you with an example shared by Evangeline, our Coordinator.
