Thank you to Nambour Special School for welcoming SCILS to your School Leavers Expo today.

It was a pleasure meeting so many students, families, and educators, and having the opportunity to discuss future pathways, community participation, skill development, and life after school. We were inspired by the enthusiasm of the students and grateful for the chance to connect with families as they explore their next steps.

Thank you to the school for hosting such a valuable event and for the warm welcome. We look forward to supporting more young people as they build confidence, independence, and meaningful connections within their community.
