NDIS Summer Holiday Groups
Our summer holiday groups are small, themed groups at our Lathlain clinic, led by BlueRocket therapists and funded through your child's NDIS plan. Each one is built around a single goal, so your child can use the quieter weeks to make real progress before school starts. There are eight groups for children aged 3 to 16. Register your interest and we'll call you to talk it through and check your funding.
Kindy & Pre-primary Ready
A gentle head start before kindy or pre-primary, run by an occupational therapist and a speech pathologist. In a small, calm group, children will work on pencil skills, cutting and drawing shapes, managing their own bag and lunchbox, playing with other children and settling into routines like mat time. Early reading and communication are built in too, through books, rhymes and letter sounds.
Ages 3 to 5
For children starting kindy or pre-primary in 2027. Ages are a guide, so give us a call if you're not sure.
Twice a week
Thursdays and Fridays 14 to 29 January, 8:30 to 10:30am. Six sessions.
Or once a week
Wednesdays 13, 20 and 27 January, 8:30 to 11:00am. Three longer sessions.
NDIS funded
Up to $258.65 per session for the twice a week group, or $307.15 per session for the once a week group. These price go down as more children join and share the cost of the group.
Food Explorers
A relaxed, no-pressure group for children who find new foods hard or eat a smaller range of foods. Children will get to know one new food at a time by looking, touching and smelling, always at their own pace. Safe foods are always respected, and exploring counts as progress. Parents get practical ideas to try at home.
Ages 4 to 8, with a food theme. Tuesdays 12 and 19 January, 11:00am to 1:00pm, then Tuesdays 9 and 16 February, 4:15 to 5:30pm, after school.
NDIS funded: $258.65 per holiday session and $185.91 per after-school session. This group is kept to 4 children, so the price is set.
Feelings Kingdom
Big feelings can be hard to name, and even harder to manage. Through stories and play in a fairytale world, children will work on understanding and naming their feelings, noticing how feelings show up in their body, and building a calming toolkit of their own. Sessions run twice a week in the first two weeks of the holidays.
Ages 5 to 7
A small group of no more than 8 children. Ages are a guide, so give us a call if you're not sure.
A fairytale theme
Stories, games and play set in a fairytale world, so learning about feelings feels like an adventure.

11, 12, 18 and 19 January, 8:30 to 10:30am. Four sessions.
NDIS funded
Up to $258.65 per session (4 sessions). The price goes down as more children join and share the cost of the group.
Handwriting Heroes
Handwriting skills and confidence, with a superhero twist. In a small, fun group, children will work on their handwriting and build confidence in their writing through superhero-themed activities. Weekly sessions start in the holidays and carry into the first weeks of school, so new skills keep building as the year begins.
Juniors, ages 7 to 9: Mondays 18 and 25 January, 4:15 to 5:30pm, then 8 and 15 February, 4:00 to 5:15pm. Seniors, ages 10 to 12: Thursdays 21 and 28 January and 11 and 18 February, 4:00 to 5:15pm.

Builder's Club
Building, planning and teamwork, one brick at a time. Children build together in a small group, sharing ideas and planning their creations as they go. Along the way they will work on fine motor skills, social communication, and planning and organising a project from start to finish.

Ages 11 to 13
For young people starting high school in 2027, and Year 8s who are still settling in. No more than 8 in the group.

Why book a BlueRocket summer group
Every group runs at our Lathlain clinic and is led by BlueRocket occupational therapists and speech pathologists.
Therapist run, play-based sessions
Every activity is planned by our therapists around the group's goal, so there's clinical thinking behind each game, story and craft. For children, it just feels like play.
Small groups, at their own pace
No more than 8 children in a group , so there's room for every child to take part and try things at their own pace.
Good value from your NDIS plan
Because the therapists' time is shared across the group, a group usually costs less per hour than individual sessions.
