Last offical day of Autumn
Kia Ora,
Welcome to this week's Disability Information and
Advisory Service newsletter.
Tomorrow, the first day of June, heralds the return of winter, and boy oh boy
last week's weather was a gentle reminder of what winter has in store for us.
I remember standing on the side-lines of the sports grounds when my kids
were small, there's nothing quite like the cold frosty air to awaken the
senses.
Please note: Due to the Queen marking her birthday with a public holiday
next Monday, the next issue of this newsletter will be published on 14 June
2021.
Enjoy the long weekend!
Also in this week's edition

Team Updates
Turning Point - Community Participation
Turning Point provides a service assisting people with disabilities to
be valued contributors in their community, helping them to gain the
confidence and skills, and enhances the support given to them by
their families and friends to reach their full potential.
Great to meet so many people at the Careers Expo at Pettigrew
Green Area in Taradale last week. It was also the perfect
opportunity to learn about a variety of options available both for
training and future employment.
Turning Point - Transition
It's never too early to think about what happens next for ORS
students when they are ready to leave school. Our transition team
is happy to come out to meet with you, your family and school to
share how we can continue to support you on your family member
as they continue on their life adventure. Please call us on 06 873
8210 to arrange a time for a chat, we'd love to meet you.
Network Personnel
Do you have a long-term disability or health condition (six months or
more) that is impacting your ability to find employment? Perhaps we
can help, give Robin or Kylee at Network Personnel a call on 06
8738210.
Network Personnel is always on the lookout for job
placement opportunities so if you are looking for that extra bit of
help, or know someone who is, please call us on 06 8738210.
Scopze
Acts of Kindness is one of the favourite times of the week in
Scopze. Last week when the weather was dodgy, we measured,
mixed then made dog biscuits to share at the Pakowhai Dog Park in
Hastings. Thank goodness the sun has made a reappearance
today so we can take a trip to the dog park and share a little
kindness this afternoon.
