Nulsen News

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) with Reconciliation Australia is coming up on May 27 to June 3.

This is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

May and June 3 commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.

This year's theme is 'In this together' – which resonates now in ways we could not have foreseen, but it reminds us whether in a crisis or in reconciliation, we are all #InThisTogether2020 #NRW2020.

Rob and Steven have been making the most of the amazing autumn weather with regular bike rides in the park across the road from their home. Fresh air, sunshine and space...sounds like a wonderful way to keep fit and happy!

Thank you Premier Mark McGowan and all stakeholders including the Western Australia Police Force for continuing to keep our State and people with complex support needs safe.

When you can't go to the bowling alley you create your own at home! Jason and his housemates have been bowling, playing table tennis and participating in a host of other activities to keep moving while they stay home. Its a great way to get outdoors and enjoy the nice weather! 🌞🙌

Katelyn, Angela and Kate are making the most of more time at home by getting creative. Painting, craft and baking have become a much loved daily event at their home. Well done ladies!

Nathan normally likes to play the guitar but was keen to give the drums a go when his housemate Greg set up his drum set in the backyard. Greg and staff were delighted when Nathan cranked out a few beats! What instrument will he try next?! Great effort Nathan 👏👏

Staying at home = more time for gardening! Nulsen resident Craig is using some of his free time to get stuck into outdoor projects. We can't wait to see the results of his efforts!
