Easter hopped on by, leaving us all full of Choccie's hot cross buns and quality Family time. Hopefully the Easter bunny found you wherever you were and spread smiles across all the faces around you. With Public holidays galore our days have been full, fitting 5 days into 4, so much so that it's been a full house- if you have been into Strides lately we hope you have enjoyed the mad house. Here's hoping we get some reprieve from the rain soon, that the winter sun starts shining through the doors and that we can see the return of the Strides boys 'Waterboy' competition. Who can believe its nearly MAY! We have so much happening in the second half of the year so be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
GENNY MAT LEAVE 2.0

Genny, please know you will be missed during your absence and we wish you Nick and Lawson all the happiness welcoming another addition.
We will be having a BBQ lunch on Friday 29th to send our fabulous Gen off for a bit. Please feel free to join us.

UPSKILLING AND LEARNING
As a team we love to constantly expand our knowledge and repertoire. Recently Meg and Heleena completed a Neurological pain specific course in Melbourne, Sarah completed an online 3-part neurological lecture series, Kaisha complete a hydrotherapy course and we have all recently learnt how to use a new force and range or motion tool called the 'Active Force'. We all make a conscious effort to share our knowledge between one another and create new idea's and ways to deliver the best possible sessions.
BIGGEST MORNING TEA
We are always supporting the SCI community but we are well aware there are so many more great causes out there and every now and then it is important we spread our wings. Here on the Sunny Gold Coast we should all be aware of the presence of skin cancer and the damage it can cause. We will be holding a "Biggest Morning Tea" on Thursday May 19th and we encourage you all to join. Treats will be available for the morning tea and lunch breaks, we will ask for a small donation upon attendance as our way of raising funds for the Cancer Council. more information can be found here.
